3.1 Network Status

To Display the current Network Status of the wireless LAN adapter

3.2 Profile Manager

You can set and save configuration parameter in the Profile Manager beforehand, and then save multi Profile Manager files meanwhile to adapt the different demands of the network.

Create: You can create a new Profile Manager file, which you can set also. Click the ¡°Create¡±, the frame listed below will come out, it including the Profile basic setting namely Infrastructure Model and Ad-Hoc Model:

Ad-Hoc Model: Allow adding a basic service troop, namely point-point, without demanding access the AP.

Infrastructure Model: Allow adding a extending basic service troop, namely demand accessing the AP.

Delete: choosing the profile can delete the existed profile.

Apply Profile: choose starting profile of the network device (adapter) in the Profile Name.

Infrastructure Model

Ad-Hoc Model

If chose the Infrastructure Model, input a configuration name, then click the ¡°next¡±, a further ¡°security¡± configuration window will come out, including a authentication mode and Encryption method.

Authentication mode choice

Encryption method choice

Take the Infrastructure model, under WPA-PSK Authentication as sample. choose the WPA-PSK in the Authentication, it will choose the TKTP as Encryption method. Then put into the password in the ¡°pass phrase¡± and the same password in the ¡°confirm¡±, listed as below:
