Exclude List Management

The Exclude list is a list of WiF networks that you will not automatically be connected to. This feature lets you restrict automatic access to a listed network or access point, even if you have created a profile for that WiFi network. Use Exclude List Management to exclude entire WiFi networks (SSID).

There are two ways to access the Exclude List Management screen:

Click Manage Exclusions at the Profiles menu, or

At the main window, select a network and click the Properties button. Then click Manage Exclusions.

NOTE: If an administrator has designated a network for exclusion, only an administrator using the Administrator Tool may remove the network from the Exclude List. Administrators can exclude profiles from the Administrator Tool. See Administrator Tool.

This icon on the WiFi Networks list indicates that a network has been excluded.
