Certs

Access:
Contents of README.TXT file located in Start | Programs | Summit | Certs menu option:
This directory is the default directory for digital certificates and protected access
credentials (PACs) used in conjunction with Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
types.
When you use PEAP or EAP-TLS, you must provision a certificate authority (CA)
certificate for the EAP authentication server and distribute that certificate to every client
device. On the device, you can store the certificate in the Microsoft certificate store or in
the directory with the path specified as the value for Certs Path on the Summit Client
Utility (SCU) Global tab. When you don't specify a Certs Path value, SCU uses the path
to this directory for the Certs Path value.
When you enter a CA certificate name on a SCU Credentials page, you enter only the
filename and extension, not the path. The Certs Path global setting provides. the path.
If you import CA certificates into the Microsoft certificate store and want to use them in
the SCU, select "Use MS store" on the Credentials page. When using the Microsoft
certificate store, SCU ignores the Certs Path global setting and the value specified in the
CA Cert filename field on the Credentials window.
User (not CA) certificates for EAP-TLS must be selected from the Microsoft certificate
store.
When you use EAP-FAST, you must create a PAC for each client device. When you
create a PAC manually, you must store it in the directory identified by the Certs Path
global setting.
See Chapter 5 - Wireless Network Configuration for directions for acquiring CA and user
certificate files.

Wireless Zero Config Utility and the Summit Client

The WZC utility has an icon in the toolbar that looks like networked computers with a red X
through them, indicating the Wireless Zero Config application is enabled and the MX8 is not
connected to a network. You can use either the Wireless Zero Configuration Utility or the Summit
Client Utility to connect to your network.
LXE recommends using the Summit Client Utility to manage wireless connectivity.
1. To use Wireless Zero Config, first open the Summit Client Utility.
2. Select ThirdPartyConfig in the Active Profile drop down box.
3. A message appears that a Power Cycle is required to make settings activate properly. Tap OK.
4. Tap the Power button to place the MX8 in Suspend, then tap the Power button again to wake
the MX8 from Suspend mode.
The Wireless Zero Config utility begins. See Chapter 5 Wireless Network Configuration for
instruction and complete information.
