• EAP-Type & Encryption: Security settings. These settings allow you to enhance the
security of data across the wireless LAN. Refer to “EAP Credentials” on page 25 and
“SCU Security Capabilities” on page 23 for details about these settings.
2.9.2.1 SCU Security Capabilities
The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the vehicle-
mount infrastructure that transmits and receives data.
A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a
critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an
interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and en-
cryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as
well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated suppli-
cant that supports a broad range of security capabilities, including:
EAP Type Extensible Authentication Protocol
type used for 802.1X authentication
to access point. None, LEAP, EAP-FAST,
PEAP-MSCHAP
– To use EAP-TLS, you must
use WZC. None
Credentials Authentication credentials for the
selected EAP type.
Refer to “EAP Credentials” on page
25 .
User: Username or
Domain/Username (up to 64
characters).
Password: up to 64 characters.
For PEAP: CA Cert–CA
server certificate filename. None
Encryption Type of encryption used to protect
transmitted data. Off, Manual WEP, Auto WEP
(generated during EAP
authentication), WPA-PSK,
WPA-TKIP, WPA2-PSK,
WPA2-TKIP, WPA2-AES,
CCKM-TKIP.
For Manual WEP: Up to four
static WEP keys.
For PSK: ASCII passphrase or
hex PSK. None
