Application Settings (Administrator Tool)
An administrator can configure the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility software
application settings to control how the application behaves on the user's computer, and to
select what level of control users have over various aspects of their wireless connections.
These settings are configured using the Administrator Tool, and are not the same as those
listed under the Tools Menu.
To configure Application Settings:
1. Click Include Application Settings in this package.
2. Select the settings that you want. Some settings require more information. Each
setting is listed in the next table.

Adapter Switching
If enabled, then whenever a valid wired Ethernet
connection is detected, the WiFi connection utility
will automatically close any wireless network
connections and turn off the wireless radio. If the
system looses its wired Ethernet connection, the
WiFi connection utility will automatically turn on the
wireless adapter radio and 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.
