Wireless Applications 4 - 39

Tapping

OK

sends the credentials though Wireless Application API. If there are no credentials entered, a dialog

box displays informing the user which field was not entered.

The

Log Off

button only displays when a user is already logged on. When the

Log Off

button is tapped, the user

is prompted with three options: Log Off, Switch Users, and Cancel. Switching users logs off the current user

and re-initialize the login dialog box to be displayed for when there is no user logged on. Logging off logs off

the current user and close the login dialog box. Tapping

Cancel

closes the Log Off dialog box and the Login

dialog box displays.

When the user is logged off, the vehicle computer only roams to profiles that do not require credentials or to

profiles that were created with the credentials entered into the profile

The

Cancel

button closes the dialog without logging into the network. If the login dialog was launched by the

Wireless Application and not by the user, tapping

Cancel

first causes a message box to display a warning that

the cancel disables the current profile. If the user still chooses to cancel the login at this point, the profile is

cancelled.

Once a profile is cancelled, the profile is suppressed until a user actively re-enables it or a new user logs onto

the vehicle computer.

Description

Wireless Profile Field

When launching the login application, the Wireless Profile field has available all

the wireless profiles that require credentials. This includes profiles that use EAP

TLS, PEAP, LEAP, and EAP-TTLS.

Profile Status Icon

The profile status icon (next to the profile name) shows one of the following

states:

The selected profile is cancelled.

The selected profile is enabled but is not the current profile.

The profile is the current profile (always the case for when the Wireless

Application is launched).

Network Username and

Password Fields

The Network Username and Network Password fields are used as credentials

for the profile selected in the Wireless Profile field. Currently these fields are

limited to 159 characters.

Mask Password

Checkbox

The

Mask Password

checkbox determines whether the password field is masked

(i.e., displays only the '*' character) or unmasked (i.e., displays the entered text).

Check the box to unmask the password. Uncheck the box to mask the password

(the default).

Status Field

The status field displays status that is important to the login dialog. If the user

opens the dialog and needs to prompt for credentials for a particular profile at

this time, it can use the status field to let the user know that the network is held

up by the password dialog being open.
