Connecting to a Network Automatically

The Configuration Service feature operates in background to automatically display available

networks not listed in the Profile List. This method provides automatic connection in a 2.4

environment to available networks in the range of your wireless adapter. The Configuration

Service constantly monitors your wireless adapter's connection status. If no matching

profiles are

found in the Profile List for a network, a dialog automatically displays the available network

access points and computers (ad hoc mode) within range of the wireless adapter. The

Configuration Service can also be used if there is more than one wireless adapter installed using

802.11b bands.

The Configuration Service features are as follows:

• The Configuration Service is launched when you log on to your computer.

• No active profile switching will be performed. Once the adapter is associated with the

access point, if a higher priority profile becomes available, no switching will occur.

• The Configuration Service is only be available if the PROSet is installed.

• If a connection to an access point cannot be made using any of the profiles in the Profile

List, a dialog will display the available networks.

• If there are multiple profiles listed for an available network, a dialog box will list the

profiles for you to choose from.
