Considerations for deploying Access Connections

Collecting information about the various places where users might attempt to

connect and the kinds of connections available in those locations will help you

develop pre-configured profiles that users can import and use right away. By

capturing working configurations in profiles which can be deployed with the

initial image, support calls can be reduced and users can immediately take

advantage of their network connections without intervention.

The Administrator Feature Enabler tool available with version 4.0 or later

simplifies the task of deploying location profiles, global settings, and control

policies to individuals or groups of individuals running Access Connections in a

corporate environment. The deployment of profiles and settings can be

accomplished during the initial system deployment as part of the preload image or

after systems are in the field using standard remote deployment methods.

Access Connections Deployment Guide

connection attempt is successful, a new wireless location profile will be created

using the detected wireless network name and default settings. You can also

manually create a location profile for a detected wireless network if you know

the appropriate settings.

If a network associated with your currently applied location profile becomes

unavailable, Access Connection can search for available networks and

automatically switch to a matching location profile. You can automatically switch

between wireless location profiles, and Ethernet location profiles. You can

establish a wireless priority list that allows you to define which wireless location

profile will be made active when your computer is in range of multiple wireless

networks, or when more than one location profile uses the same wireless

network name.

An Access Connections administrator can define location profiles for export to

the client computers.

Access Connections provides an icon in the system tray which allows you to

launch the application, view the status of the current location profile, and switch

between profiles.
