an attribute is selected, the current setting or an appropriate selection box
with the current setting highlighted appears on the right.
• Security: Values for the two primary security attributes, EAP type and
encryption type, are displayed in separate dropdown lists, with the current
values highlighted. When you as an administrator select an EAP type, the
Credentials button appears; when you tap it, a dialog box appears that
enables you to define authentication credentials for that EAP type. When
you as an administrator select an encryption type that requires the
definition of WEP keys or a pre-shared key, the PSKs/WEP Keys button
appears; when you tap it, a dialog box appears that enables you to define
WEP keys or a PSK.
• Commit: To ensure that changes to profile settings made on the tab are
saved in the profile, you must tap the Commit button.
To cause a Summit radio to connect to a typical business WLAN, you must select
a profile that specifies the SSID, EAP type, and encryption type supported by the
WLAN:
• SSID: This is the name or identification of the WLAN.
• EAP type: This is the protocol used to authenticate the device and its user
if the WLAN uses the Enterprise version of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
and WPA2. SCU supports five EAP types: PEAP with EAP-MSCHAP
(PEAP-MSCHAP), PEAP with EAP-GTC (PEAP-GTC), EAP-TLS, LEAP,
and EAP-FAST.
• Encryption: This specifies the type of key used to encrypt and decrypt
transmitted data and how that key is specified or derived. Encryption
options include:
- WPA2 or WPA with dynamic keys (derived from the EAP
authentication process)
- WPA2 or WPA with pre-shared keys
- Static WEP keys
