This chapter explains how to use Socket’s WLAN Tools to create a WLAN
profile and connect to your network. The WLAN Tools software lets you
create a unique profile for each network, so you can connect to different
networks without entering new settings every time. Each profile consists of
the different mode, security, Internet Protocol (IP), and power settings for a
particular WLAN.
