6.0 Summit Radio
6.1.2.1 Radio Settings
Element Description
SSID
Use the drop-down menu to select the profile to be viewed
or edited. Only an administrator can edit a profile.
Client Name Actions included New, Rename, Delete, and Scan. New,
Rename, and Delete are only available to an administrator.
New
Create a new profile with default settings.
Assign a unique name (a string of up to 32
characters). Edit profile settings using other
Profile window selections.
Rename Change the profile name to one that is not as-
signed to another profile.
Delete Delete a non-active profile. You cannot delete
an active profile.
Scan Tap to view a list of APs that are broadcasting
SSIDs; select an SSID and create a profile for it.
See “Using Scan to Create a Profile” for more
information.
Power Save
Select a radio attribute from the list on the left to view its
value or setting in the box on the right. Only an administra-
tor can edit these values or settings. See “Radio Settings” for
more information.
Tx Power Values for the two primary security attributes, EAP type and
encryption type, are displayed in separate drop-down lists
with the current values highlighted. Only an administrator
can edit these security settings. See “Security Settings” for
more information.
• Encryption - When the administrator selects an encryption
type that requires the definition of WEP keys or a pre-shared
key (PSK), the WEP keys/PSKs button becomes active. Tap
WEP keys/PSKs to define WEP keys or a PSK.
•
EAP Type - When the administrator selects an EAP type, the
Credentials button becomes active. Tap Credentials to define
authentication credentials for the selected EAP type.
Bit Rate
To save changes for the selected profile, you must tap Com-
mit. If you make changes without tapping Commit and
attempt to move to a different SCU window, a warning mes-
sage displays and provides the option of saving your changes
before you leave the Profile window.
Radio Mode
Use of 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11n frequencies and
data rates when interacting with AP, or use of ad hoc mode
to associate to a client radio instead of an AP. When SCU
operates with a Summit 802.11g radio, an administrator can
select from among the following Radio Mode values:
•
Value:
–
B rates only - 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps
–
G rates only - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps
– BG rates full - All B and G rates
– BG Subset - 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36, and 54 Mbps. This
should only be used with Cisco APs running IOS in au-
tonomous mode (without controllers). For Cisco APs that
are tied to controllers and for non-Cisco APs, Summit
recommends BG rates full.
–
Ad Hoc - When selected, the Summit radio uses ad hoc
mode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastructure
mode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, the
radio associates to another client radio that is in ad hoc
mode and has the same SSID and, if configured, static
WEP key.
• Default - BG rates full
Radio Mode
(cont’d)
When SCU operates with a Summit 802.11a/g radio, an
administrator can select from among the following Radio
Mode values:
•
Value:
–
B rates only - 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps
–
G rates only - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps
–
BG rates full - All B and G rates
– A rates only - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps (same as
G rates)
–
ABG rates full - All A rates and all B and G rates, with A
rates (the .11a radio) preferred. See “Preferred Band for
802.11a/g Radio” for more information.
–
BGA rates full - All B and G rates and all A rates, with
B and G rates (the .11g radio) preferred. See “Preferred
Band for 802.11a/g Radio” for more information.
–
BG Subset - 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36, and 54 Mbps. This
should only be used with Cisco APs running IOS in au-
tonomous mode (without controllers). For Cisco APs that
are tied to controllers and for non-Cisco APs, Summit
recommends BG rates full.
– Ad Hoc - When selected, the Summit radio uses ad hoc
mode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastructure
mode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, the ra-
dio associates to another client radio that is in ad hoc mode
and has the same SSID and, if configured, static WEP key.
•
Default - ABG rates full
Auth Type 802.11 authentication type, used when associating to AP.
• Value - Open, shared-key, or LEAP (Network-EAP)
•
Default - Open
Note:
For a Cisco explanation of 802.11 authentication us-
ing Open and Network-EAP, see:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wire-
less/ps4570/products_conf iguration_exam-
ple09186a00801bd035.shtml. The Summit Client
Utility refers to Network-EAP as LEAP.
6.1.2.2 Preferred Band for 802.11a/g Radio
When the Radio Mode value is
ABG rates full
or
BGA rates full
, one
band (5 GHz for ABG or 2.4 GHz for BGA) is preferred over the other.
When trying to associate to an AP, the radio considers APs in the pre-
ferred band. If the radio is able to associate to one of these APs, then the
radio will not try to associate to an AP in the other band. The only time
that the radio attempts to associate to an AP in the non-preferred band
is when the radio is not associated and cannot associate in the preferred
band. When roaming, the radio considers only APs in the current band
(the band in which the radio is currently associated). When an admin-
istrator tries to create or edit a profile, SCU determines which radio is
operating in the device and populates the available radio mode values ac-
cording to the radio type. Suppose a profile created for an 802.11a/g card
is loaded on a device with an 802.11g card. If a radio mode value of
A
rates only
,
ABG rates full
, or
BGA rates full
was set in the profile,
then SCU displays a value of
BG rates full
. If the administrator does
not save any changes to the profile, then SCU leaves the profile, including
the radio mode, unchanged. If the administrator saves any changes to the
profile, then SCU saves the radio mode value as
BG rates full
.
6.1.2.3 Ad Hoc
If the administrator selects
Ad Hoc
for radio mode, then the Summit
radio uses ad hoc mode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastruc-
ture mode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, the radio as-
sociates to another client radio that is in ad hoc mode and has the same
SSID and, if configured, static WEP key.
