To move a network within the list: 1 Highlight the network you want to move. 2 Click either the Move up or Move down button depending on where you want the selected network to appear in the list. In the example above, the 2nd network is selected, and the Move up button is active, showing that you can move that network up when the button is clicked. Import and Export Networks Into and Out of Your Preferred Networks Use the Import and Export buttons to move networks into or out of the Preferred networks. The adapter connects according to the wireless network order specified in the Preferred networks. Exporting Networks Use the Export button to save all current configured networks into a configuration file. You cannot export a single network into the configured file; you only can export the entire Preferred networks into a configuration file. To export (save) networks to your Preferred networks configuration file: 1 2 Create and order the network you want to export. Click Export 3 Select the appropriate Export Option. 3-14 WPCI810 Configuration 4 Section 3 Select a Preferred Networks configuration file name in which to save the networks. 5 Save the new Preferred network to the file.

[. . . ] The protocol of the enclosing packet is understood by each endpoint, or tunnel interface, where the packet enters and exits the network. VPNs rely on tunneling to create a secure network. Tunneling requires the following protocol types: A carrier protocol, such as TCP, used by the network that the data travels over An encapsulating protocol, such as IPSec, L2F, L2TP, or PPTP, that is wrapped around the original data A passenger protocol, such as IP, for the original data 5-10 WPCI810 Glossary U UDP Section 5 User Datagram Protocol. A method used along with the IP to send data in the form of message units (datagram) between network devices over a LAN or WAN. [. . . ]
