How to import your Profile in the Intel PROSet/Wireless

How to import your Profile in the Intel PROSet/Wireless Client

Introduction

This instruction describes how to import preconfigured profiles under Windows XP with the Intel

PROSet/Wireless Client. In the following the import of the DESY profile will be described..

The preconfigured profile of DESY or eduroam can be found at the end of this page at www-

it.desy.de → Services → Netorks → WLAN → WLAN – Instruction. Download the required profile and save it somewhere in any folder.

If Intel PROSet/Wireless has to be installed, download the software from the

S-drive. See S:\services\Driver\Dell\IntelWLAN\2200BG-5300\Info.txt → „Intel PROSet/Wireless

WiFi Connection Software (Version x.y) + Drivers”.

Note:

With older versions of Intel PROSet/Wireless the import fails. In this case an updated version has to be installed.

See S-drive

(S:\services\Driver\Dell\IntelWLAN\2200BG-5300\Info.txt → „Intel PROSet/Wireless

WiFi Connection Software (Version x.y) + Drivers”).

Perfomance Check

After importing the profiles, we would recommend to establish a test connection with each of the imported profile.

Note:

Please make sure at the beginning that your Wireless network card is enabled. The procedure for this is different for each device. Support on this topic can be taken from the manual of your notebook.

The Intel PROSet/Wireless Client has to be activated for the WLAN management.

This is the case if the Intel PROSet/Wireless Symbol in the taskbar (next to the clock) is colored. If this is not the case, click with the right mouse button on the transparent symbol and then in the context menu on „Open Wireless Zero

Configuration“ or „Enable WiFi Control“ (depending on the software version).
