Profile Tab
Edit Profile:
This is used to select the profile to be viewed or, if you are an administrator, edited.
Actions:
Four actions are available, with the first three available only to an administrator:
-
New:
Create a new profile with default settings and give it a unique name (and then change settings using other
selections on the tab).
-
Rename:
Give the profile a new name, one that is not assigned to another profile
-
Delete:
Delete the profile, provided that it is not the active profile.
-
Scan:
Open a window that lists access points that are broadcasting their SSIDs. Each time you tap the Refresh button,
you view an updated list of APs, with each row showing an AP’s SSID, its received signal strength indication (RSSI),
and whether or not data encryption is in use (true or false). You can sort the list by clicking on the column headers. If
you are authorized as an administrator, select an SSID in the list, and tap Commit, you return to the Profile tab to
create a profile for that SSID.
Radio:
Radio attributes in the list box can be selected individually. When 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
