The CM_WiFiEntries Configuration Service Provider is used to configure a wireless network association with Internet or Private networks on Pocket PC.

The nocharacteristic tag will work on the top two levels to delete all, or specific, entries.

The CM_WiFiEntries Configuration Service Provider can be configured in the following ways:

• The user enters the association to configure the wireless network to the Internet or Private network, and then the user interface (UI) component calls Connection Manager again with the new setting. Connection Manager would, in turn, store this setting.
• A corporation pre-configures a device prior to rollout with the information about their WiFi network and its metanetwork association.
• The configuration information for the metanetwork association is updated through over-the-air (OTA) configuration of these parameters.

The following table shows the default settings.
