Sign-On vs. Stored Credentials

When using wireless security that requires a user name and password to be entered, the Summit Client Utility offers these
choices:
The Username and Password may be entered on the Credentials screen. If this method is selected, anyone using the
l
device can access the network.
The Username and Password are left blank on the Credentials screen. When the device attempts to connect to the
l
network, a sign on screen is displayed. The user must enter the Username and Password at that time to authenticate.
When using Summit on devices with a Windows XP or Windows Embedded Standard operating system, there is an
l
option on the Global
stored in the profile.
