you as an administrator select an EAP type, the Credentials button appears; when you
tap it, a dialog box appears that enables you to define authentication credentials for that
EAP type. When you as an administrator select an encryption type that requires the
definition of WEP keys or a pre-shared key, the PSKs/WEP Keys button appears; when
you tap it, a dialog box appears that enables you to define WEP keys or a PSK.

To cause a Summit radio to connect to a typical business WLAN, you must select a profile
that specifies the SSID, EAP type, and encryption type supported by the WLAN:
z SSID: This is the name or identification of the WLAN.
z EAP type: This is the protocol used to authenticate the device and its user if the WLAN
uses the Enterprise version of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2. SCU
supports five EAP types: PEAP with EAP-MSCHAP (PEAP-MSCHAP), PEAP with
EAP-GTC (PEAP-GTC), EAP-TLS, LEAP, and EAP-FAST
z Encryption: This specifies the type of key used to encrypt and decrypt transmitted data
and how that key is specified or derived. Encryption options include:
- WPA2 or WPA with dynamic keys (derived from the EAP authentication process)
- WPA2 or WPA with pre-shared keys
- Static WEP keys
Consult the user’s guide for details on all profile settings, including security settings.
