Use this screen to confirm and save the security settings. 

Figure 33   Summary Screen 

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 NWD271N, 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 NWD271N cannot connect to a network.

If you do not configure and activate a profile, each time you start the NWD271N, the 
NWD271N uses the default profile to connect to any available network that has no security 
enabled. 

The default profile is a profile that allows you to connect to any SSID that has no security 
enabled. 

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.
