Administrator page
The Administrator page is meant for system administrators and is not installed as
part of the normal installation procedure. On the Administrator page, the system
administrator can view detailed information on the network connections and save
important data on a SIM card. The administrator can create installation disks that
include relevant network profiles and settings, and that then can be distributed to
end users within a corporation, for example.
