Installing and Configuring the Driver in Windows XP
38 Spectrum24 Wireless LAN Adapter Users Guide
The Mode property page displays with the ESSID, Operating Mode and
Profile name for the adapter. Click OK to accept the default adapter
profile information. Use the Encryption property page if the user is
required to select an encryption algorithm to operate within the network.
A profile is a set of configuration settings used by the adapter in different
locations to connect to a Spectrum24 network. Creating different profiles
is a good way of having pre-defined adapter operating parameters
available for use in various Spectrum24 network environments. New
profiles can be created by clicking the New button and existing profiles
can be modified by clicking Edit.
For additional information on using the Mobile Companion utility to create a
new adapter or edit an existing profile, refer to Appendix A.
