4.1 Creating a new profi le
You need certain information on the target network to create a new profi le.
For one, the SSID of the target network is required. You must also know whether encryption is used in the
target network, and if so, which type. You can also choose one of two different network types. The device
supports the infrastructure and ad-hoc network types.
Infrastructure: Select this type if you want to connect this wireless LAN device to a wireless LAN router or
access point.
Ad-hoc station: Select this type if you want to connect directly to another wireless LAN client device, e.g.
another USB stick or a WLAN PCI card without a wireless LAN router or access point. Two WLAN client
devices are required for this.
There are two ways of creating a profi le, either using the New button in the Profi le management tab, or by
selecting a network directly after a Scan.
Version 1 Change to the Profi le management tab and click New.
or
Version 2 Change to the Profi le management tab and click Scan. The device scans for existing networks
which are then displayed as a list. Select the required network and click Activate.
For hidden networks only:
If the SSID fi eld is empty, the router or access point is set to hide the network. The SSID cannot
therefore be copied automatically.
In both cases, the following window is displayed on the screen:

4.1.1 Operation in infrastructure mode
First enter a profi le name, e.g. "My_profi le". In the client name fi eld, the name of your PC is entered
automatically.
If you have selected version 1, you must now enter the SSID of the target network in the SSID1 fi eld. This is
in the wireless LAN settings in your router or access point or you can ask the person in charge. If you have
selected version 2, the SSID has already been copied automatically from the scanned list.
Switch to the Advanced tab.
In general all values here can be left at the default settings.
