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 wheth- |
| er 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.
