If enabled, then whenever a valid wired Ethernet connection is detected, the WiFi connection
utility will automatically close any WiFi network connections. If the system looses its wired
Ethernet connection, the WiFi connection utility will automatically attempt to connect to the last
connected profile. If the last connected network is not available, the WiFi connection utility will
attempt to connect to the first available wireless network based on the preferred Profile List.
NOTE: This behavior is for the system as a whole and is not specific to any user.
Administrator
Tool
Allow user to access the Administrator Tool.
Leaving the box checked allows the user to access the Administrator Tool on their computer
when the tool is installed. Uncheck the box to remove their ability to access the Administrator
tool.
Application
Auto Launch
Allow the user to start an application on connection.
Enabling this feature lets the user specify an application that will start up whenever a particular
network profile connects. The user selects the profile and can then specify an application, batch
file, or script. For example, the user may want a Virtual Private Network (VPN) session to start
automatically whenever the laptop connects to a specific wireless network. If this feature is
unchecked (disabled), then the user cannot specify any application to startup automatically
when a given network profile connects.
