Wireless Network Configuration

Introduction

Although the HX3 has no display or alphanumeric keypad, HX3 control panels can be viewed and parameters manipulated
using LXEConnect and ActiveSync on a connected host computer.
Note: The HX3 does not have a touch screen. If the host computer has a touch screen, instructions using "tap" and "stylus"
instead of "click" and "mouse" apply.
Note: The Summit client device is either an 802.11g radio, capable of both 802.11b and 802.11g data rates or an 802.11a radio,
capable of 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g data rates. The radio can be configured for no encryption, WEP encryption or
WPA security.
Security options supported are:
• No Security (page 9-19)
• WEP (page 9-20)
• LEAP (page 9-21)
• WPA PSK (page 9-31)
• WPA/LEAP (page 9-26)

Important Notes

It is important that all dates are correct on the HX3 and host computers when using any type of certificate.
Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
It may be necessary to upgrade radio software in order to use certain Summit Client Utility (SCU) features. Contact

When using the 802.11a radio, the U-NII 1 band is the preferred band for indoor operation. For regulatory domains
in which the U-NII 3 band is allowed, the following channels are supported: 149, 157 and 161. The AP must be
configured accordingly.
After making any changes to the wireless configuration, warmboot the HX3.
