Profile Settings
The Profile Settings utility lets you save network settings in
“profiles.” ConfigFree

profiles are useful for easily switching
network settings and devices. You can switch network settings
simply by selecting the profile with the desired settings.
If you visit a client company occasionally, for example, you can set
up a profile to match that environment and connect to the network.
Similarly, users who access networks in the office and at home can
set up profiles to handle these networking environments.
A profile contains the currently configured network settings on the
computer, as well as information about any network devices. The
following settings can be saved (or “captured”) in a profile:
❖ Internet settings—includes LAN settings (proxy server
settings) and the address of a home page that opens
automatically when Internet Explorer
®
starts
❖ Devices—lets you enable or disable settings of wired and
wireless network devices, infrared devices, and set the power
status of Bluetooth
®
antennas
❖ TCP/IP settings—includes DHCP, IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway, DNS server, and WINS server settings
❖ Personal firewall settings for Internet connections
❖ Bluetooth
®
Security Level (for example, high or medium)
❖ Enable UAC (User Account Control) setting
