Chapter 3 ZyXEL Utility Configuration

The following table describes the labels in this screen.    

A profile is a set of wireless parameters that you need to connect to a wireless network. With a 
profile activated, each time you start the ZyXEL M-202, it automatically scans for the specific 
SSID and joins that network with the pre-defined wireless security settings. If the specified 
network is not available, the ZyXEL M-202 will be disconnected.

If you do not configure and activate a profile, each time you start the ZyXEL M-202, the 
ZyXEL M-202 uses the default profile to connect to any available network with security 
disabled. 

The default profile is a profile that allows you to connect to any SSID without security.

Click the Profile tab in the ZyXEL Utility program to display the Profile screen as shown 
next.

The profile function allows you to save the wireless network settings in this screen, or use one 
of the pre-configured network profiles.
