Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU) SCU Security Capabilities A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and en- cryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP.
Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU) EAP Credentials • LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended. • EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning. EAP-TLS will work with a 802.11b/g radio module when Windows Zero Config (WZC) rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With WZC, the native Windows suppli- cant instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used.
Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU) Status Tab These SCU settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC settings will be applied to the radio module. Status Tab The Status tab provides status information including IP address and MAC address for the client radio, IP address and MAC address for the AP, signal strength, channel, transmit power and data rate.
