E.2 About Mobile Companion
Mobile Companion starts automatically and appears as an icon on the task
tray. The status icon changes in real-time to reflect the signal strength and
availability of the adapter and the wireless network. Tap on the icon on the
task tray to open the utility. When the utility is initially opened, the user has
the option of selecting Status, Find WLANs, WLAN Profiles or Options
menu items.
Select WLAN Profiles to create or modify a WLAN adapter profile. A profile
is a set of adapter configuration settings that can be used 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. A list of existing
profiles is available by selecting WLAN Profiles from the Mobile Companion
main menu.
Select an existing profile and tap Connect Profile to use its pre-configured
ESSID, security, network address and power consumption settings or tap
Create New Profile to configure new adapter profile device information
using the Mode, Encryption, IP Config and Power property pages.
