MX8 Reference Guide
If the access point uses authentication protocol (LEAP, WEP etc.) your network card
must use the same authentication keys. Please contact your IT department for WEP or
LEAP encryption keys before contacting LXE. WEP and LEAP are authentication
protocols used to encrypt data sent and received from the mobile device to the access
point. WEP is disabled by default.
The MX8 uses the Summit Client Utility to configure the network card.
