Chapter 4: Configuring the Wireless-G IP Phone
Settings of the Wireless-G IP Phone
Profiles
You will see a list of profiles (when you have profiles already configured). Select Option to see menu
choices. Select Exit to return to the previous menu.
You can designate the order of the profiles saved by the IP Phone. The next time it is powered on, it
will use the first profile to automatically connect to the profile’s wireless network. If that network is
not available, the IP Phone will try the next profile. This will continue until it has connected to a
wireless network.
Option
You have these choices: Edit (available when you have at least one existing profile), Add, Delete
(available when you have at least one existing profile), Connect, Go Down/Up (available when you
have more than one profile), and Save <network name> (available when the IP Phone is connected
to a network lacking a profile). The Edit and Add options configure the same settings. The Edit
option is used for changing existing profiles, while the Add option is used for creating new profiles.
Select Return to return to the previous menu.
Edit. Select Edit to edit a profile’s information: SSID (wireless network name), Wireless Mode,
Authentication Mode, and Encryption. (Additional setting may be available depending on the
encryption used.) Scroll through these choices, and select Edit to change a setting.
