To create a new profile, choose 

 at any time. The profile editor will appear (see 

section 7.2, “The Profile Editor,”

 below). 

To use a profile to join a wireless network, select the profile and choose 

. Double-

clicking a profile has the same effect. You will be asked for confirmation. When you 
confirm the command, the utility will put all the settings in the profile into effect and 
attempt to join the network. 

When a connection attempt is successful, the utility icon in the system tray (also known 
as the notification area) shows a green screen and radio waves. The screen of the icon in 
the top left corner of the utility’s main window also turns green (both icons show red 
screens when you are not connected). 

To delete a profile or profiles, select the profile(s) and choose 

. You will be 

asked for confirmation. When you confirm the command, the profile(s) will immediately 
be permanently deleted. 

The profile editor is the dialog box that appears when you choose 

 or 

 in the utility’s 

 panel. It contains all the controls you need to create settings for a wireless network 

connection. Each of these controls is explained in a section of its own below. 

The 

 control is a text input box for giving the profile a name. Each profile must 

have a unique name. A profile name can be any length, but it cannot contain spaces. The case of 
any letters you type is preserved. When you are editing an existing profile, the name appears on a 
gray background here and cannot be edited. 

The 

 control is a text input box for typing the target network’s Service Set Identifier, also 

known as the (wireless) network name (or ID), (wireless) domain name (or ID), or Extended 
Service Set Identifier (ESSID). All devices on a wireless network must use the same SSID. When 
you are within range of a wireless network, you can learn the SSID from the 

 panel’s 

 section (if it is unusually long, you might have to click it there to see all of it). Be 

sure to type it in correctly here. 

The 

 control is a drop-down list box for selecting a communication speed
