Config Tab
The Config tab provides a list of all access points and peer stations in range. Its configuration tool enables you to create and edit
SSID profiles for access points that you want your station to associate with.
Preferred Profiles This section displays a list of preferred profiles for access points (AP) in the network created by the
user, or added from the Active SSIDs table. When turned on, the 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. It will remain blank if there no automatic association preference selected.
This section contains several icons that enable you to add and configure APs.
