▪

Any change to the currently connected Wi-Fi profile would cause the phone to disconnect with the current

AP, warm reboot, then connect to current AP with the changed parameters.

▪

If you have a wired network deployed on your site, connect your phone to the wired network first. After

configuring Wi-Fi profiles on the phone web page, you can force the phone to connect to the configured

profile by disconnecting the wired network.

▪

All the Wi-Fi profiles are saved on the phone. The phone can recover the previous Wi-Fi connection after a

power cycle.
