To create another profile, repeat the previous steps.
Step 4

Selecting the Active Profile

Follow these steps to specify the profile that the client adapter is to use.
Note Because EAP-TLS and PEAP authentication are not enabled in ACU, you cannot switch between these
authentication types simply by switching profiles in ACU. For PPC 2002 devices, you can create a
profile in ACU that uses host-based EAP, but you must enable the specific authentication type in the
Authentication Manager. In addition, only one authentication type can be set at a time; therefore, if you
have more than one profile in ACU that uses host-based EAP and you want to use another authentication
type, you must change the authentication type in the Authentication Manager after switching profiles in
ACU. For PPC 2003 devices, you must select <External Settings> as the active profile in ACU and then
configure your client adapter through Windows CE .NET.
Go to the Profiles screen (see
Step 1
From the Select Active Profile drop-down menu, choose the profile that you want your client adapter to
Step 2
use to attempt to establish a connection to an access point.

You can enter up to 80 characters, but due to limited screen size, long profile names may not
be completely displayed.
If you want this profile to use the default values, tap on a blank part of the screen. The profile is
added to the list of profiles in the Manage Profiles box.
If you want to change any of the configuration parameter settings, tap the Edit button. The
Properties screen appears with the name of the profile in quotation marks. Follow the instructions
in Chapter 5 to change any of the configuration parameters for this profile.
Figure
The <External Settings> profile option on Windows CE .NET devices disables ACU profiles
and enables the operating system or an application other than ACU to configure the client
adapter. You must choose this option if you want to configure your card through the operating
system but use ACU's diagnostic tools. Refer to
your client adapter through Windows CE .NET.
