Using the Endpoint Security Client 3.5 17novdocx (en) 13 May 2009If this network environment was saved at a previous location, the Endpoint Security Client 3.5asks if the user wants to save the new location. Select Yes to save the environment to the currentlocation and clear the environment from its prior location, or select No to leave theenvironment in the prior location.NOTE: The Save Network Environment function can be restricted by the ESM Administrator at anylocation.Additional network environments can be further saved to a location. For example, if a locationdefined as Airport is part of the current policy, each airport visited by the mobile user can be savedas a network environment for this location. This way, every time a mobile user returns to a savedairport environment, the Endpoint Security Client 3.5 automatically switches to the Airport location.3.2.2 Saving a Wi-Fi EnvironmentWhen users activate their Wi-Fi adapters, they might see dozens of available access points. A Wi-Fiadapter might lock on to a single access point at first, but if too many access points are withinproximity of the adapter, the associated access point might be dropped and the wireless connectionmanager could prompt the adapter to switch to the access point with the strongest signal. When thisoccurs, current network activity is halted, often forcing a user to resend certain packets andreconnect the VPN to the corporate network.If an access point is saved as a network environment parameter at a location, the adapter locks on tothat access point and does not lose connectivity until the user physically moves away from theaccess point. Upon returning to the access point, the adapter automatically associates with the accesspoint, the location changes, and all other access points are no longer visible through wirelessconnection management software.To save a Wi-Fi Environment:1 Open the connection management software and select the desired access point.NOTE: Connection management software can be overridden by location when the ESMsecurity policy is set to manage your wireless connectivity.
