It is important the Radio Mode parameter correspond to the AP to which the device is to connect. For example, if this
parameter is set to G rates only, the MX8 may only connect to APs set for G rates and not those set for B and G rates.
The options for the Radio Mode parameter should be set, based on the antenna configuration, as follows:

Explanation
Setting the rate to Auto will allow the Access Point to automatically negotiate the bit rate
with the client device.
Options are: Auto, 1 Mbit, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 or 54 Mbit.
802.11 authentication type used when associating with the Access Point.
Options are: Open, LEAP, or Shared key.
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) type used for 802.1x authentication to the Ac-
cess Point.
Options are: None, LEAP, EAP-FAST, PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, PEAP-TLS, EAP-
TTLS, or EAP-TLS.
Note: EAP Type chosen determines whether the Credentials button is active and also
determines the available entries in the Credentials pop-up window.
Type of encryption to be used to protect transmitted data. Available options may vary by
SCU version.
Options are: None, WEP (or Manual WEP), WEP EAP (or Auto WEP), WPA PSK, WPA
TKIP, WPA CCKM, WPA2 PSK, WPA2 AES, or WPA2 CCKM.
CKIP is not supported in the MX8.
Note: The Encryption type chosen determines if the WEP Keys / PSK Keys button is
active and also determines the available entries in the WEP or PSK pop-up
window.
Specify 802.11a, 802.11b and/or 802.11g rates when communicating with the AP. The op-
tions displayed for this parameter depend on the type of radio installed in the mobile de-
vice.
Options:
• B rates only (1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps)
• BG Rates Full (All B and G rates)
• G rates only (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps)
• BG optimized or BG subset (1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36 and 54 Mbps)
• A rates only (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps)
• ABG Rates Full (All A rates and all B and G rates with A rates preferred)
• BGA Rates Full (All B and G rates and all A rates with B and G rates preferred)
• Ad Hoc (when connecting to another client device instead of an AP)
Default:
• BG Rates Full (for 802.11 b/g radios)
• BGA Rates Full (for 802.11a/b/g radio)
Note: BG radio only – Previous SCU versions may have the default set as BG Rates Full.
Depending on the SCU version, either BG Optimized or BG subset is the default.
