Config Tab
The Config tab provides a list of all APs and peer stations in range. Use the list to create and edit SSID profiles for APs that you
want the terminal to associate with.
Preferred Profiles The Preferred Profiles section displays a list of your preferred profiles, the profiles you create or add
from the list of Active SSIDs below. When applied, the 802.11b radio searches for the APs in the exact
order shown in the list of profiles. This section is blank after the initial installation and each hard reset.
This section remains blank if no automatic association preference is selected.
This section contains several icons that enable you to add and configure APs.
Active SSIDs This table shows all APs or peer stations (creator of IBSS) in the vicinity of the terminal that accept
broadcast associations.
Each record displays information in the following six columns (Scroll right to see all the columns.):
