2.2 Detailed confi guration
When confi guring your USB stick, it is useful to create a profi le. A profi le serves to save various settings for a
connection under a certain name. For example, if you want to connect to various wireless networks, you can
save the settings for the networks in profi les, which allows you to change the confi guration quickly.
2.2.1 Creating a new profi le
You need the following information to create a profi le:
• SSID (network ID): This is the name of the required network.
• Encryption used in the target network
• Network type (type of network): Infrastructure or ad-hoc
There are two basic ways to create a profi le:
Version 1 : Change to the Profi le tab and click Add.
or
Version 2 : Open the Site Survey tab. All networks are listed in this tab. Select the
required network in the list and click Add to profi le.
For hidden networks only:
If the SSID fi eld is empty, the router or access point is set to hide the network. The SSID cannot
therefore be copied automatically.
In both cases, the following window is displayed on
the screen:
This USB stick allows you to set up two different
network types.
Infrastructure: Select this type if you want to connect
this wireless LAN device to a wireless LAN router or
access point.
Ad-hoc: Select this type if you want to connect
directly to another wireless LAN client device, e.g. another
USB stick or a WLAN PCI card without a wireless LAN
router or access point. Two WLAN client devices are
required for this.
2.2.1.1 Infrastructure mode
First enter a name for your profi le (Profi le name), e.g. “PROF1”.
If you have selected version 1 to create the new profi le, you must enter the network ID (SSID) of the target
network in the SSID fi eld. This is in the wireless LAN settings in your router or access point or you can ask the
person in charge. If you have selected version 2, the SSID has already been copied automatically from the
network overview.
