EAP Credentials
Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:
•
If the credentials specified in the
config
are incorrect and that
config
is used,
the authentication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted
to enter correct credentials.
•
If the credentials are not specified in the
config
, when the radio tries to asso-
ciate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
•
When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials,
or cancel the operation.
•
If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and
authenticate.
•
If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate
but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter creden-
tials.
•
If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the
radio will not attempt to associate with that
config
until you perform
one of the following actions (while the
config
is the
active config
):
•
Cause the WORKABOUT PRO to go through a power cycle or
suspend/resume.
•
Disable and enable the radio, or tap the
Reconnect
button on the
Diags
windows.
•
Modify the
config,
and tap on
Commit
.
Alternatively, you can choose another
config
as the active
config
and then switch
back to the
config
for which EAP authentication was cancelled.
5.4.2.3
ThirdPartyConfig
If you choose to configure
ThirdPartyConfig
, the
SCU
will work with the operating
system’s
Windows Zero Config
(WZC) to configure radio and security settings for
the CF radio installed in the unit.
Choosing this
config
means that
WZC
must be used to define the following radio
and security options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption.The
SCU
settings
for
ThirdPartyConfig
include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and
Radio Mode. These
SCU
settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC
settings will be applied to the radio module.
