Activating LEAP

The LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) section of the application allows

you to increase the security of your device by setting the SSID, username, password, and

domain to ensure that no one can access your network without your permission. Most 802.11

access points offer by default a form of authentication called open systems authentication,

which is this device’s default setting. In this mode, the access point grants approval for any

request for authentication. The client simply sends an authentication request frame, and the

access point responds with an authentication approval. This lets anyone having the correct

SSID to associate with the access point. For LEAP to work correctly, both the access point

and the receiving device (your SX66 Phone) must be set with the same username and

password, and SSID.
