Administrator Tool
The Administrator tool is for administrators or the person who has administrator privileges on this computer. This tool allows the administrator to restrict what level of control the users of this computer have over their wireless connections. This tool is used also to configure common (shared) profiles.
Users cannot modify Administrator settings or profiles unless they have the password for this tool. A password should be chosen that is secure and not easily guessed. You can export these settings and profiles as one package to other computers on your network.
Administrator Packages
The Administrator Packages are used to save administrative profiles and other settings. For Windows* XP, you can copy or send this self-extracting executable to clients on your network. When it is run, the contents are installed and configured on the destination computer. For Windows Vista, Administrator Packages are saved in an XML format which are imported through the Group Policy Manager.
Application Settings
An administrator can select which level of control that users have over their wireless network connections.
Administrator Profiles
Enable or disable Persistent or Pre-logon/Common profiles and configure Voice over IP (VoIP) settings on the computer.
Persistent Profiles
Persistent profiles are applied at boot time or whenever no one is logged on the computer. After a user logs off, a Persistent profile maintains a wireless connection either until the computer is turned off or a different user logs on.
Pre-logon/Common Profiles
Pre-logon/Common profiles are applied prior to a user log on. If Single Sign On support is installed, the connection is made prior to the Windows log on sequence (Pre-logon/Common).
If Single Sign On support is not installed, the profile is applied once the user session is active.
Pre-logon/Common profiles always appear at the top of a the Profiles list. Users can still prioritize profiles that they have created but they cannot reprioritize Pre-logon/Common profiles. Because these profiles appear at the top of the profiles list, Intel PROSet/Wireless automatically attempts to connect to the Administrator profiles first before any user created profiles.
NOTE: For Windows Vista*, only Common profiles are imported through the Group Policy Manager.
Adapter Settings
An administrator can select which level of control that users have over their wireless network connections.
EAP-FAST A-ID Groups
An administrator can select which Authority Identifier (A-ID) radius server to provision Protected Access Credentials (PACs) for profiles that use EAP-FAST authentication. A-ID groups are shared by all users of the computer and allow EAP-FAST profiles to support multiple PACs from multiple A-IDs. See Administrator Tool EAP-FAST A-ID Groups.
