5.4.2.2 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 asso-
ciate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
• When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials,
or cancel the operation.
• If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and
authenticate.
• If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate
but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter creden-
tials.
• If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the
radio will not attempt to associate with that config until you perform
one of the following actions (while the config is the active config):
• Cause the WORKABOUT PRO to go through a power cycle or
suspend/resume.
• Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the
Diags windows.
• Modify the config, and tap on Commit.
Alternatively, you can choose another config as the active config and then switch
back to the config for which EAP authentication was cancelled.
5.4.2.3 ThirdPartyConfig
If you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating
system’s Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for
the CF radio installed in the unit.
Choosing this config means that WZC must be used to define the following radio
and security options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption.The SCU settings
for ThirdPartyConfig include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and
Radio Mode. These SCU settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC
settings will be applied to the radio module.
