986.0 Summit Radio6.1.2.1 Radio SettingsElement DescriptionSSID Use the drop-down menu to select the profile to be viewedor edited. Only an administrator can edit a profile.Client Name Actions included New, Rename, Delete, and Scan. New,Rename, and Delete are only available to an administrator.New Create a new profile with default settings.Assign a unique name (a string of up to 32characters). Edit profile settings using otherProfile window selections.Rename Change the profile name to one that is not as-signed to another profile.Delete Delete a non-active profile. You cannot deletean active profile.Scan Tap to view a list of APs that are broadcastingSSIDs; select an SSID and create a profile for it.See “Using Scan to Create a Profile” for moreinformation.Power Save Select a radio attribute from the list on the left to view itsvalue or setting in the box on the right. Only an administra-tor can edit these values or settings. See “Radio Settings” formore information.Tx Power Values for the two primary security attributes, EAP type andencryption type, are displayed in separate drop-down listswith the current values highlighted. Only an administratorcan edit these security settings. See “Security Settings” formore information.• Encryption - When the administrator selects an encryptiontype that requires the definition of WEP keys or a pre-sharedkey (PSK), the WEP keys/PSKs button becomes active. TapWEP keys/PSKs to define WEP keys or a PSK.• EAP Type - When the administrator selects an EAP type, theCredentials button becomes active. Tap Credentials to defineauthentication credentials for the selected EAP type.Bit Rate To save changes for the selected profile, you must tap Com-mit. If you make changes without tapping Commit andattempt to move to a different SCU window, a warning mes-sage displays and provides the option of saving your changesbefore you leave the Profile window.Radio Mode Use of 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11n frequencies anddata rates when interacting with AP, or use of ad hoc modeto associate to a client radio instead of an AP. When SCUoperates with a Summit 802.11g radio, an administrator canselect from among the following Radio Mode values:• Value:– B rates only - 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps– G rates only - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps– BG rates full - All B and G rates– BG Subset - 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36, and 54 Mbps. Thisshould only be used with Cisco APs running IOS in au-tonomous mode (without controllers). For Cisco APs thatare tied to controllers and for non-Cisco APs, Summitrecommends BG rates full.– Ad Hoc - When selected, the Summit radio uses ad hocmode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastructuremode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, theradio associates to another client radio that is in ad hocmode and has the same SSID and, if configured, staticWEP key.• Default - BG rates fullRadio Mode(cont’d)When SCU operates with a Summit 802.11a/g radio, anadministrator can select from among the following RadioMode values:• Value:– B rates only - 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps– G rates only - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps– BG rates full - All B and G rates– A rates only - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps (same asG rates)– ABG rates full - All A rates and all B and G rates, with Arates (the .11a radio) preferred. See “Preferred Band for802.11a/g Radio” for more information.– BGA rates full - All B and G rates and all A rates, withB and G rates (the .11g radio) preferred. See “PreferredBand for 802.11a/g Radio” for more information.– BG Subset - 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36, and 54 Mbps. Thisshould only be used with Cisco APs running IOS in au-tonomous mode (without controllers). For Cisco APs thatare tied to controllers and for non-Cisco APs, Summitrecommends BG rates full.– Ad Hoc - When selected, the Summit radio uses ad hocmode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastructuremode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, the ra-dio associates to another client radio that is in ad hoc modeand has the same SSID and, if configured, static WEP key.• Default - ABG rates fullAuth Type 802.11 authentication type, used when associating to AP.• Value - Open, shared-key, or LEAP (Network-EAP)• Default - OpenNote: For a Cisco explanation of 802.11 authentication us-ing Open and Network-EAP, see:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wire-le s s /p s 4 570/pro duc t s _ c on f i g u r at ion _ e x a m-ple09186a00801bd035.shtml. The Summit ClientUtility refers to Network-EAP as LEAP.6.1.2.2 Preferred Band for 802.11a/g RadioWhen the Radio Mode value is ABG rates full or BGA rates full, oneband (5 GHz for ABG or 2.4 GHz for BGA) is preferred over the other.When trying to associate to an AP, the radio considers APs in the pre-ferred band. If the radio is able to associate to one of these APs, then theradio will not try to associate to an AP in the other band. The only timethat the radio attempts to associate to an AP in the non-preferred bandis when the radio is not associated and cannot associate in the preferredband. When roaming, the radio considers only APs in the current band(the band in which the radio is currently associated). When an admin-istrator tries to create or edit a profile, SCU determines which radio isoperating in the device and populates the available radio mode values ac-cording to the radio type. Suppose a profile created for an 802.11a/g cardis loaded on a device with an 802.11g card. If a radio mode value of Arates only, ABG rates full, or BGA rates full was set in the profile,then SCU displays a value of BG rates full. If the administrator doesnot save any changes to the profile, then SCU leaves the profile, includingthe radio mode, unchanged. If the administrator saves any changes to theprofile, then SCU saves the radio mode value as BG rates full.6.1.2.3 Ad HocIf the administrator selects Ad Hoc for radio mode, then the Summitradio uses ad hoc mode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastruc-ture mode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, the radio as-sociates to another client radio that is in ad hoc mode and has the sameSSID and, if configured, static WEP key. |
