Administrator Tool (Tools Menu)

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.

The Administrator Packages are used to save administrative profiles and other settings. For Windows* XP and Windows* 2000, 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.

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.


Software

Select which of the Intel PROSet/Wireless applications are installed on a user's computers.


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.
