Roam

Applies only if there are more than one wireless network. It tells the WiFi adapter to automatically connect to the highest-ranking network available (rank is by highest “Priority” first, then “Strength”). Usage would be for a “mobile JACE” (unlikely) such that if connectivity is lost because it moved out of the range of one network, it could automatically reconnect to another network closer in range.

Roam is mutually exclusive with the Connect command, as “Connect” forces the JACE to the selected network regardless of its availability.

Connect

Available only if the selected (highlighted) network has a “Disconnected” or “Disabled” status. If you click it, any other connected network is then disconnected/disabled, and a connection attempt occurs. In Connect mode, the JACE does not attempt to connect to any other network without further intervention—for example, either by clicking Roam or by “Connect”ing to a different WiFi network.

Disconnect

Available only if the selected (highlighted) network has a “Connected” or “Connecting” status. If you click it, it is immediately disconnected with a “Disconnected” status.

Edit Network

Available only if a network is selected (highlighted). Click it for an “Edit a Wireless Network” popup dialog for that network (or simply double-click a network for that same edit dialog).

New Network

Click for a “Create a New Wireless Network” popup dialog, where you typically specify everything, including BSSID (MAC address). In general, this offline approach requires much more configuration knowledge about the wireless router or access point than doing a “Discover”, but may be necessary in cases where the WiFi router or access point does not broadcast its SSID.

Remove Network

Available only if a network is selected (highlighted). Click it to delete the wireless network from the platform configuration (a “Confirm” popup dialog asks if you are sure first).

Refresh

Click to refresh all areas of the view, including signal strength and availability. Note these areas and values all update regularly from polling, too.

Refresh clears any wireless networks from the top “Discovered Networks” pane.

Save

Available only if changes were made that have not been persisted in the platform configuration, such as previously done in an “Edit a Wireless Network” dialog. Click to save.
