|
| Options are: Maximum, 50mW, 30mW, 20mW, 10mW, 5mW, or 1mW. |
|
|
|
Bit Rate | Auto | Setting the rate to Auto will allow the Access Point to automatically negotiate the bit |
|
| rate with the client device. |
|
| This parameter cannot be changed. |
|
|
|
Auth Type | Open | 802.11 authentication type used when associating with the Access Point. |
|
| Options are: Open, LEAP, or Shared key. |
|
|
|
EAP Type | None | Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) type used for 802.1x authentication to the |
|
| Access Point. |
|
| Options are: None, LEAP, |
|
| |
|
| Note: EAP Type chosen determines whether the Credentials button is active and also |
|
| determines the available entries in the Credentials |
|
|
|
Encryption | None | Type of encryption to be used to protect transmitted data. Available options may vary |
|
| by SCU version. |
|
| Options are: None, WEP (or Manual WEP), WEP EAP (or Auto WEP), WPA PSK, |
|
| WPA TKIP, WPA CCKM, WPA2 PSK, WPA2 AES, or WPA2 CCKM. |
|
| CKIP is not supported in the MX7 Tecton. |
|
| Note: The Encryption type chosen determines if the WEP Keys / PSK Keys button is |
|
| active and also determines the available entries in the WEP or PSK |
|
| window. |
|
|
|
Radio Mode | BGA Rates Full | Specify 802.11a, 802.11b and/or 802.11g rates when communicating with the AP. The |
|
| options displayed for this parameter depend on the type of radio installed in the MX7 |
|
| Tecton. |
|
| Options: |
|
| • B rates only (1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps) |
|
| • BG Rates Full (All B and G rates |
|
| • G rates only (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps |
|
| • A rates only (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps |
|
| • ABG Rates Full (All A rates and all B and G rates with A rates preferred |
|
| • BGA Rates Full (All B and G rates and all A rates with B and G rates preferred |
|
| • Ad Hoc (when connecting to another client device instead of an AP) |
|
| Default: |
|
| BGA Rates Full (for 802.11a/b/g radio) |
|
| Note: It is important the Radio Mode parameter correspond to the AP to which the |
|
| device is to connect. For example, if this parameter is set to G rates only, the |
|
| MX7 Tecton may only connect to APs set for G rates and not those set for B |
|
| and G rates. |
