Button

Function

 

 

Scan

Opens a window that lists access points that are broadcasting their SSIDs. Tap the Refresh button to

 

view an updated list of APs. Each AP’s SSID, its received signal strength indication (RSSI) and whether

 

or not data encryption is in use (true or false). Sort the list by tapping on the column headers.

 

If the scan finds more than one AP with the same SSID, the list displays the AP with the strongest RSSI

 

and the least security.

If you are logged in as an Admin, tap an SSID in the list and tap the Configure button, you return to the Profile window to recreate a profile for that SSID, with the profile name being the same as the SSID (or the SSID with a suffix such as “_1” if a profile with the SSID as its name exists already).

WEP Keys / Allows entry of WEP keys or pass phrase as required by the type of encryption. PSK Keys

Note: Unsaved Changes – The SCU will display a reminder if the Commit button is not clicked before an attempt is made to close or browse away from this tab.

Important – The settings for Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption depend on the security type chosen.
