User's Manual

Nordic ID PL3000 user manual, v. 2.6, October 2006 108

Here are the highlights:

- Conﬁ g: This is used to select the conﬁ g to be viewed or, if you are an administrator, edited. If

“ThirdPartyConﬁ g” is selected then, after the device goes through a power cycle, WZC is used for

conﬁ guration of the radio.

- Actions: Four actions are available to an administrator:

1. Rename: Give the conﬁ g a new name, one that is not assigned to another conﬁ g

2. Delete: Delete the conﬁ g, provided that it is not the active conﬁ g

3. New: Create a new conﬁ g with default settings and give it a name (and then change settings

using other selections on the window)

4. Commit: Ensure that changes to conﬁ g settings made on the window are saved in the

conﬁ g

- Radio attribute and setting: Attributes in the list box can be selected individually. When an attribute

is selected, the current setting or an appropriate selection box with the current setting highlighted

appears on the right. For example, selecting SSID causes an edit box to appear; selecting transmit

power causes SCU to display a drop-down list box with available settings.

- Security settings: The items at the bottom of the window enable the administrator to conﬁ gure the

settings for authentication and encryption.

EAP Credentials

Here are some important notes on entering credentials for EAP authentication:

- If the credentials speciﬁ ed in the conﬁ g are incorrect then, when that conﬁ g is used, the authentication

will fail without an error message, and the user will not be prompted to enter correct credentials

- If the credentials are not speciﬁ ed in the conﬁ g then, when the radio tries to associate using that

conﬁ g, the user will be prompted to enter the credentials

- When prompted, the user can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials, or cancel the

operation

- If the user enters valid credentials and taps the OK button, the radio will associate and authenticate

- If the user enters invalid credentials and taps the OK button, the radio will associate but not authenticate,

and the user will be re-prompted to enter credentials

- If the user taps the Cancel button or the user clears the credentials ﬁ elds and taps the OK button,

then the radio will not attempt to associate with that conﬁ g until the user performs one of the following

actions (while the conﬁ g is the active conﬁ g):

- Causes the device to go through a power cycle or suspend/resume

- Disables and enables the radio or taps the Reconnect button on the Diags windows

- Modiﬁ es the conﬁ g and taps the Commit button

Alternatively, the user can select another conﬁ g as the active conﬁ g and then switch back to the conﬁ g for

which EAP authentication was canceled.
