APPENDIX C SUMMIT CLIENT UTILITY (SCU) FOR MODEL RA2041 This appendix provides details about each tab in the Summit Client Utility (SCU). For quick, step-by-step setup instructions, refer to “Configuring The Summit RA2041 802.11b/g” on page 13. C.1 SCU Tabs This section provides a detailed description of each of the tabs available in the SCU—Main (below), Config (page 2), Global Settings (page 7), Status (page 9), and Diags (page 10). C.1.
Appendix C: Summit Client Utility (SCU) For Model RA2041 Config Tab • • • If ThirdPartyConfig is selected, after the WORKABOUT PRO goes through a power cycle, WZC is used for configuration of the radio. See “ThirdPartyConfig” on page 6 for details. Association Status: Indicates if the radio is associated to an access point. If this is not the case, Association Status indicates the radio status.
Appendix C: Summit Client Utility (SCU) For Model RA2041 Config Tab • Radio Attributes: Lists radio attributes. These attributes can be individually chosen from this menu. When an attribute is chosen, an associated list of options is displayed where you can assign new settings or view existing settings. The following table describes the options in the Radio Attributes drop-down menu: Radio Attribute Description Value Default Config Name of config (configuration profile).
Appendix C: Summit Client Utility (SCU) For Model RA2041 Config Tab Radio Attribute Description Value Default None EAP Type None, LEAP, EAP-FAST, Extensible Authentication Protocol type used for 802.1X PEAP-MSCHAP authentication to access point. – To use EAP-TLS, you must use WZC. Credentials None Authentication credentials for User: Username or Domain/Username (up to 64 the selected EAP type. characters). Password: up to 64 characters.
Appendix C: Summit Client Utility (SCU) For Model RA2041 Config Tab • • • • Note: EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication. PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to encrypt EAP traffic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP: • EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate for use against Windows Active Directory and domains.
Appendix C: Summit Client Utility (SCU) For Model RA2041 Config Tab EAP Credentials Keep the following in mind when defining security settings: • If the credentials specified in the config are incorrect and that config is used, the authentication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted to enter correct credentials. • If the credentials are not specified in the config, when the radio tries to associate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
Appendix C: Summit Client Utility (SCU) For Model RA2041 Global Settings Tab C.1.3 Global Settings Tab The Global Settings tab allows you to define radio and security settings that apply to all configs (profiles), along with settings that apply specifically to the SCU.
