The Network Connection Manager (NetworkConnectionMgr) allows an administrator to set preferences for device connection to cellular (WWAN) and Wi-Fi (WLAN) networks to help ensure that devices use the optimal network at all times. NetworkConnectionMgr allows administrators to manage and deploy lists of access points for wireless networks, rank them in order of priority, and/or set minimum signal levels when establishing connections with a set time interval for attempting to improve connections.
Used to select an Action to perform for managing the list of cellular (WWAN) and/or Wi-Fi (WLAN) network names on the device. Cellular networks are identified by their operator name, plus their associated mobile country code (MCC) and mobile network code (MNC). Wi-Fi networks are identified by their SSID.

Used to enter the name of a .txt
file containing a prioritized list of cellular (WWAN) and/or Wi-Fi (WLAN) networks. The first name on the list is given the highest priority for connection; each subsequent name gets a lesser priority.
Contents of this file replaces any pre-existing values on the device. Once stored on the device, file contents cannot be edited. To add, delete or change list entries, a new list file must be created and pushed to the device.
