    Chapter 4 Using WiFi Communication A. Main Window The Main window provides an overview of the current wireless network connection configuration (Active Profile)  The following image (in Figure 5.1) is the SCU Main windows for Windows CE.  Figure 5.1: SCU Main Window  Enable Radio/Disable Radio  When  the  radio  is  enabled,  select  this  button  (which  displays  Disable  Radio)  to  disable  it. When  the  radio  is  disabled,  select the  same button (which now displays Enable Radio) to enable it. When disabled, the radio does not attempt to make a connection to an  access point.  Active Profile  To displays the name of the active profile. Use the drop‐down menu to select a different profile.  Note:  If  ThirdPartyConfig  is  selected  (and  after  the  device  goes  through  a  power  cycle),  WZC  (Windows  Zero  Configuration)  or  another application is used to configure the SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type, and Encryption settings. ...
  • Page 26 If the radio Encryption type is set to WEP or a pre‐shared key (WPA‐PSK or WPA2‐PSK), it should now be capable of obtaining an IP  address (either statically assigned or through DHCP) and passing traffic.    If the radio Encryption type requires EAP authentication then an EAP Type must be properly configured in order for the device to  obtain an IP address and be capable of passing traffic.  <EAP  type>  Authenticated  ‐  The  radio  has  established  a  connection  to  an  access  point  and  has  completed  EAP  authentication  successfully.  Radio Type  Indicates the type of radio installed in the device. For example:  BG    ‐    Indicates a Summit 802.11g radio which supports 802.11b and 802.11g.  B. Profile Window Profile settings are radio and security settings that are stored for each configuration profile. When a profile is selected as the active  profile on the Main window, the settings for that profile become active.  Notes: When the ThirdPartyConfig profile is selected, a power cycle must be performed.  The following image (in Figure 5.2)is the SCU Profile windows for Windows CE  Figure 5.2: SCU Profile Window  Profile changes are not saved to the profile until you tap Commit. ...
  • Page 27 Figure 5.3: Scan Window  Each row shows an AP's SSID, its received signal strength indication (RSSI), and whether or not data encryption is in use (true or  false).  You  can  sort  the  list  by  tapping  on  the  column  headers.  If  the  scan  finds  more  than  one  AP  with  the  same  SSID,  the  list  displays the AP with the strongest RSSI and the least security. Every five seconds, the Scan window updates the RSSI value for each  of the APs in the list. To scan for new APs and view an updated list, tap Refresh.  If you are authorized as an administrator in SCU, you can create a profile for any SSID in the list. To create a profile, double‐tap the  row for the SSID; or tap the row and then tap Configure    Figure 5.4: Scan Window  If you tap Yes on the dialog box, then SCU creates a profile for that SSID, with the profile name being the same as the SSID (or the  SSID with a suffix such as "_1" if a profile with the SSID as its name exists already). If the AP is using WEP, then SCU opens a dialog  box  in  which  you  can  specify  WEP  keys.  If  the  AP  is  using  EAP,  then  SCU  opens  a  dialog  box  in  which  you  can  specify  login  credentials for the EAP type (which SCU assumes is LEAP). After you enter information on a dialog box, you return to the SCU Profile ...
