Exclude List Management (Profiles Menu)

Exclude List Management is available when you either select Manage Exclusions from the Profiles menu or click the Properties button on the Wireless Networks list.

Note: If an administrator has designated a network for exclusion, only an administrator within the Administrator Tool may remove the network from the Exclude List.
