6.1.2.2
When SCU operates with a Summit 802.11a/g radio, an
administrator can select 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
– A rates only - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps (same as
G rates)
– ABG rates full - All A rates and all B and G rates, with A
rates (the .11a radio) preferred. See “Preferred Band for
802.11a/g Radio” for more information.
– BGA rates full - All B and G rates and all A rates, with
B and G rates (the .11g radio) preferred. See “Preferred
Band for 802.11a/g Radio” for more information.
– BG Subset - 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36, and 54 Mbps. This
should only be used with Cisco APs running IOS in autonomous mode (without controllers). For Cisco APs that
are tied to controllers and for non-Cisco APs, Summit
recommends BG rates full.
– Ad Hoc - When selected, the Summit radio uses ad hoc
mode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastructure
mode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, the radio associates to another client radio that is in ad hoc mode
and has the same SSID and, if configured, static WEP key.
• Default - ABG rates full
802.11 authentication type, used when associating to AP.
• Value - Open, shared-key, or LEAP (Network-EAP)
• Default - Open
Note: For a Cisco explanation of 802.11 authentication using Open and Network-EAP, see:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wirele s s /p s 4 570/pro du c t s _ c on f i g u r at ion _ e x a mple09186a00801bd035.shtml. The Summit Client
Utility refers to Network-EAP as LEAP.
Preferred Band for 802.11a/g Radio
When the Radio Mode value is ABG rates full or BGA rates full, one
band (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 preferred band. If the radio is able to associate to one of these APs, then the
radio will not try to associate to an AP in the other band. The only time
that the radio attempts to associate to an AP in the non-preferred band
is when the radio is not associated and cannot associate in the preferred
band. When roaming, the radio considers only APs in the current band
(the band in which the radio is currently associated). When an administrator tries to create or edit a profile, SCU determines which radio is
operating in the device and populates the available radio mode values according to the radio type. Suppose a profile created for an 802.11a/g card
is loaded on a device with an 802.11g card. If a radio mode value of A
rates 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 does
not save any changes to the profile, then SCU leaves the profile, including
the radio mode, unchanged. If the administrator saves any changes to the
profile, then SCU saves the radio mode value as BG rates full.
Use of 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11n frequencies and
data rates when interacting with AP, or use of ad hoc mode
to associate to a client radio instead of an AP. When SCU
operates with a Summit 802.11g radio, an administrator can
select from among the following Radio Mode values:

– B rates only - 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps

access credentials (PACs) and can be created automatically or manually.
With automatic or in-band provisioning, the PAC is created and distributed to the client device in one operation. With manual or out-of-band
provisioning, the PAC is created in one step and then must be distributed
to the client device separately. SCU supports PACs created automatically
or manually. When you create a PAC manually, you must load it to the
directory identified by the Certs Path global setting. Be sure that the PAC
file does not have read-only permissions set, or SCU will not be able to
use the PAC.
The 802.1X authentication types PEAP, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-TLS rely
upon information in digital certificates that are created by a certificate
authority, or CA. To enable a client device to validate (or authenticate)
the server used for PEAP, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-TLS authentication, you
must provision a root CA certificate and distribute it to that client. You
can store the CA certificate in a device’s Microsoft certificate store or in
a directory with a path that you specify as the value for Certs Path on the
SCU Global window. If you don’t specify a Certs Path value, then SCU
uses for the Certs Path value the path to the certs directory that is off
the SCU folder. For EAP-TLS you also must generate a user certificate for
each client; that user certificate must be stored in the Microsoft certificate
store on the client.
There are no default values for credentials. If the credentials are not specified in the profile then, when the radio tries to associate using that profile,
Summit software will display a dialog box that prompts the user to enter
the credentials. Summit software will populate the dialog box with the
username and password supplied for the previous EAP authentication.
Instead of using digital certificates, EAP-FAST relies upon strong sharedsecret keys that are unique to users. These secrets are called protected

WPA Migration Mode and WPA2 Mixed Mode
Summit radios support two special AP settings: WPA Migration Mode
and WPA2 Mixed Mode. WPA Migration Mode is a setting on Cisco
APs that enables both WPA and non-WPA clients to associate to an AP
using the same SSID, provided that the AP is configured for Migration
Mode (WPA optional with TKIP+WEP128 or TKIP+WEP40 cipher). In
other words, WPA Migration Mode means WPA key management with
TKIP for the pairwise cipher and TKIP, 128-bit WEP, or 40-bit WEP for
the group cipher. When WPA Migration Mode in use, you can select
WPA TKIP or WEP EAP for your Summit radio encryption type.
WPA2 Mixed Mode operation enables both WPA and WPA2 clients to
associate to an AP using the same SSID. WPA2 Mixed Mode is defined
by the Wi-Fi Alliance, and support for the feature is a part of Wi-Fi
certification testing. When WPA2 Mixed Mode is configured, the AP
advertises the encryption ciphers (TKIP, CCMP, other) that are available for use, and the client selects the encryption cipher it wants to use.
In other words, WPA Mixed Mode means WPA key management with
AES for the pairwise cipher and AES or TKIP for the group cipher.
When WPA2 Mixed Mode in use, you can select WPA2 AES or WPA
TKIP for your Summit radio encryption type.

Description
Profile
The active profile.
Status
Indicates the current status of the Summit radio. Potential
values include:
Down
The radio is not recognized by Summit
software, possibly because the radio is not
installed properly.
Disabled
The radio has been disabled because Disable
Radio on the SCU Main window has been
tapped. To enable the radio, tap Enable Radio
on the SCU Main window.
Not Associated
The radio is not associated to an AP, possibly
because no AP for the active profile is in range.
Associated
The radio is associated to an AP. If the radio is
not sending or receiving from the AP, then:
• If WEP is being used, then one of the WEP
keys in the active profile is invalid.
• If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is being used,
then the PSK or password is invalid.
• If WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise is being used, then the radio did not complete EAP
authentication successfully.

Authenticated
The radio is associated to an AP and has
completed EAP authentication successfully.
ThirdPartyConfig
If the profile named ThirdPartyConfig is selected as the active profile, then SCU works in tandem with WZC or another third-party application for configuration of all radio and security settings for the radio.
The third-party application must be used to define the SSID, Auth Type,
EAP Type, and Encryption settings. SCU can be used to define the Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate, and Radio Mode settings.
Those SCU profile settings, all SCU global settings, and the third-party
application settings are applied to the radio when ThirdPartyConfig is
selected as the active profile and a power cycle is performed.
On some devices that run Pocket PC or Windows Mobile, the radio will
not associate if WPA with pre-shared keys, or WPA-PSK, is used with
WZC. If that is the case for your device, then to use WPA-PSK you must
use an SCU profile other than ThirdPartyConfig.
6.1.2.9
EAP-FAST
The 802.1X authentication types PEAP and EAP-FAST use a clientserver security architecture that encrypts EAP transactions within a
TLS tunnel. PEAP relies on the provisioning and distribution of a digital
certificate for the authentication server. With EAP-FAST, tunnel establishment is based upon strong shared-secret keys that are unique to users. These secrets are called protected access credentials (PACs) and can

Roam Trigger
When moving average RSSI from current AP is weaker than
Roam Trigger, radio does a roam scan where it probes for an
AP with a signal that is at least Roam Delta dBm stronger.
• Value: -50, -55, -60, -65, -70, -75, -80, -85, -90, or Custom (see
note on Custom below the list)
• Default: -70
Roam Delta
The channel to be used for an ad hoc connection if the active
profile has a Radio Mode value of “Ad Hoc”
• Value: One of the 2.4 GHz channels (1-14) or UNII-1 channels
(36, 40, 44, 48) -- If you select a channel that is not supported
by your radio, then SCU uses the default value for this setting.
• Default: 1
Aggressive
Scan
When this setting is On and the current connection to an AP
becomes tenuous, the radio scans for available APs more aggressively. Aggressive scanning complements and works in conjunction with the standard scanning that is configured through the
Roam Trigger, Roam Delta, and Roam Period settings. Summit
recommends that the Aggressive Scan global setting be On unless there is significant co-channel interference because of overlapping coverage from APs that are on the same channel.
When Roam Trigger is met, second AP’s signal strength (RSSI)
must be Roam Delta dBm stronger than moving average RSSI
for current AP before radio will attempt to roam to second AP.
• Value: On or Off
• Default: On
• Value: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, or Custom (see note on Custom

• Default: Auto-EAP
PMK Caching
When WPA2 is in use, type of Pairwise Master Key (PMK)
caching to use—See the section on PMK Caching.
• Value: Standard or OPMK
• Default: Standard
Note: When switching from Standard to OPMK, you must
initiate a suspend resume of the device. Only tapping
Commit does not cause the change to take effect.
After association or roam scan (with no roam), radio will collect RSSI scan data for Roam Period seconds before considering roaming.
• Value: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, or Custom
(see note on Custom below the list)
• Default: 10
BG Channel
Set
Defines the 2.4 GHz channels to be scanned when the radio is
contemplating a roam and to determine what APs are available:
• Value: Full (all channels); 1,6,11 (the most commonly used
2.4 GHz channels); 1,7,13 (for ETSI and TELEC radios only);
or Custom (see note on Custom below the list)
• Default: Full
DFS Channels
Support for 5 GHz (802.11a) channels where support for
dynamic frequency selection (DFS) is required.
• Value: On, Off, Optimized
Note: When set to Optimized and scanning for the first
time, the radio scans all active channels and all
available DFS channels. From this scan, the radio
creates and maintains a list of up to three DFS channels where beacons were detected. During subsequent scans, the radio still scans all active channels
but only scans the DFS channels listed from the first
scan (where beacons were detected).
When the radio loses or resets the connection, the radio returns to scanning all available DFS channels as it did when
scanning for the first time after being set to Optimized. From
this scan, the radio again creates a list of DFS channels where
beacons were detected.
Note: The Optimized setting is not supported in the MSD30AG and SSD30AG radios. If DFS Channels is
set to Optimized directly in the registry, the setting
will function as On (versus Optimized).
• Default: Full
DFS Scan
Time
Because passive scanning consumes a longer period of time,
this feature enables you to determine the dwell (listen) time
when passively scanning on a DFS channel.
• Value: A number between 20-500 milliseconds (ms)
• Default: 120 ms
Note: When decreasing the scan time (to a value lower than
the default) for DFS channels, corresponding changes
in the infrastructure’s beacon period are recommended. For optimal performance and reliability, Summit
recommends a dwell time that is 1.5 times that of the
beacon period. For example, if the DFS scan time is
set to 30 ms, the beacon period should be adjusted to
20 ms.
Note: If you adjust this parameter directly in the registry, and
configure it to a number outside of the 20-500 ms range,
the setting value will return to the default (120 ms).

Amount of time in milliseconds between successive ping
requests
• Value:  An integer from 0 to 7200000
• Default:  1000
When you change global settings and tap Commit, the changes take effect immediately. The only exception is the WMM setting; if you change
it, you must do a power cycle or suspend/resume on the device to cause
the change to take effect. SCU provides you with a warning about the required power cycle.) To cause global settings changes to take effect without a power cycle, Summit software may have to reset and re-establish
the WLAN connection between the Summit radio and the AP.
If you make changes without tapping Commit and attempt to move to a
different SCU window, SCU will display a warning message and give you
the option of saving your changes before you leave the Global window.
A few global settings can be defined or set only through a separate utility such as the Summit Manufacturing Utility, which Summit makes
available only to device manufacturers and not to their customers.

PMK Caching
PMK caching is an alternative to CCKM supported with WPA2. The goal
of PMK caching is to speed up roaming between APs by accomplishing
802.1X reauthentications without communicating with the authentication server. When a client does an initial authentication to the WLAN
infrastructure, both sides derive the information needed for reauthentications.
If there are no controllers, then standard PMK caching is used, and reauthentication information is cached only on the initial AP. When the client
tries to reauthenticate to that AP, the client and the AP use the cached
information to do the four-way handshake to exchange keys. If there are
controllers, then opportunistic PMK caching is used, and reauthentication information is cached on the controllers. When the client tries to reauthenticate, the client and the controller behind the AP use the cached
information to do the four-way handshake to exchange keys.
Use the PMK Caching global setting to configure the type of PMK caching supported by your infrastructure. If the Summit radio is configured
for one type of PMK caching and the infrastructure supports the other
type, then PMK caching will not work, and every roam will require a full
802.1X authentication that requires interaction with an authentication
server.
If the active profile has an Encryption setting of WPA2 CCKM, then the
Summit radio ignores the PMK Caching global setting and attempts to
use CCKM.

Appendix A — EAP Types
AES
AES-CCMP is the encryption method defined with IEEE
802.11i and certified with WPA2. Stronger than RC4 (which
is used with both WEP and TKIP), AES-CCMP is considered
sufficient for FIPS 140-2.
AES - Advanced Encryption Standard
CCMP - Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol
Authentication
The process of verifying the identity of:
• A station attempting to gain access to a network.
• A network to which a station is trying to gain access.
IEEE 802.1X, which is the authentication component of WPA
and WPA2, performs mutual authentication through an
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) type. With mutual
authentication, the network authenticates the station and the
station authenticates the network.
Auth Type
Auth Type indicates the 802.11 authentication type used when
associating to an access point. SCU authentication type parameters include:
• Open - This two-step authentication type involves the station
sending a request (usually a randomly generated key) to the
access point. The access point sends an authentication response
that contains a success or failure message. Once accepted, the
key is only used for a short period of time; then a new key is
generated and agreed upon.
• Shared - With a shared authentication type, both the station
and the access point have the same “shared” key or passphrase.
• LEAP (Network-EAP)
Note: See
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/
wireless/ps4570/products_configuration_example09186a00801bd035.shtml for a Cisco explanation
of 802.11 authentication using Open and NetworkEAP. The Summit Client Utility refers to Network-EAP
as LEAP.
Note: Summit highly recommends the use of Open which is
also the SCU default. This setting can be edited from
the Profile window of SCU.
Bit Rate
Bitrate is the measurement of how much data is transmitted
in a given amount of time from one location to another. It is
generally measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second
(Kbps), or megabits per second (Mbps).
CAM
CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) is a power save mode that
keeps the radio powered up continuously to ensure there is
minimal lag in response time. This power save setting consumes the most power but offers the highest throughput.
CKIP
CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol) and CMIC (Cisco Message Integrity Check) are Cisco-defined predecessors to WPA
TKIP and are supported only on Cisco Wi-Fi infrastructure.
An SCU profile setting of CKIP (not CKIP-EAP) means that
the encryption keys are defined in SCU. An SCU profile setting of CKIP-EAP means that the encryption keys are derived
dynamically from an EAP authentication.
Note: If the SCU active profile has an encryption setting of
CKIP or CKIP EAP, then the Summit radio associates
or roams successfully to an access point that is configured with the following:
• The SSID and other RF settings of the SCU active profile
• The authentication method of the SCU active profile
• Any of the following encryption settings:
– WEP only (no CKIP or CMIC)
– WEP with CKIP
– WEP with CMIC
– WEP with CKIP and CMIC
Note: Summit recommends the use of TKIP or WPA2.
Client Name
For the SCU, the device name assigned to the Summit radio
and the client device that uses it.
Note: If CCX Features are set on the SCU Global settings
page, then the client name is relayed and used for association.
Credentials
The Credentials button on the Profile window of SCU allows
you to add or edit the authentication credentials for the
selected EAP type. See 6.1.2.6 EAP Credentials on p. 71
fopr more information.
EAP
See 6.1.2.6 EAP Credentials on p. 71 for more information.
Fast
Fast is a power save mode that switches between PSP (Power
Save Protocol) mode and CAM mode, depending on network
traffic. For example, it switches to CAM when it is receiving
a large number of packets and switches back to PSP after the
packets have been retrieved. Fast is recommended when power
consumption and throughput is a concern.
Encryption
Encryption involves scrambling transmitted data so that it can
be read only by the intended receiver, which has the proper key
to decrypt unscramble the encrypted data. In Summit Client
Utility, the Encryption setting in a profile can refer not just to
an encryption method but also to an authentication method
and an encryption key management protocol.
For more information, see “SCU Encryption Settings” Table.
Maximum
Maximum (Max PSP) is a power save mode where the access
point buffers incoming messages for the radio. The radio occasionally ‘wakes up’ to determine if any buffered messages
are waiting and then returns to sleep mode after it requests
each message. This setting conserves the most power but also
provides the lowest throughput. It is recommended for radios
in which power consumption is most important (such as small
battery-operated devices).
Power Savez
Indicates the radio’s current power save setting. Power save mode
allows you to set the radio to its optimum power-consumption
setting.
Maximizing battery life for full shift operation is an important
consideration for vendors and users of hand-held data terminals and similar devices. Summit provides a number power save
modes that can significantly reduce the radio’s power consumption and maximize the battery life of the host device.
Summit supports the three following power save modes:
• CAM (Constantly Awake Mode)
• Fast
• Maximum
When in power save mode, the radio “sleeps” most of the time
and “wakes up” only when it has data that needs to be sent to the
infrastructure (or at an interval determined between the station
and the access point). When the radio is awake, the access point
also delivers to the station any data that has been buffered during the radio’s sleep period.
Radio Mode
Radio mode is an SCU Profile setting that indicates the use of
802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11n frequencies and data
rates when interacting with an access point, or the use of ad
hoc mode to associate to a station radio instead of an access
point.
When SCU operates with a Summit 802.11g radio, an administrator can select from among the following radio mode values:
• 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. This should
only be used with Cisco APs running IOS in autonomous
mode (without controllers). For Cisco APs that are tied to
controllers and for non-Cisco APs, Summit recommends BG
rates full.
(cont’d)
119
Appendix A — EAP Types (cont’d.)
Radio Mode
(cont’d)
• Ad Hoc - When selected, the Summit radio uses ad hoc mode
instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastructure mode, the
radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode, the radio associates to another station radio that is in ad hoc mode and has
the same SSID and, if configured, static WEP key.
Note: The default is BG rates full.
Note: See “802.11a/g Radio Mode with 802.11g Radio” for additional information.
When SCU operates with a Summit 802.11a/g radio, an administrator can select from the following radio mode values:
• 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 as G
rates)
• ABG rates full - All A rates and all B and G rates, with A
rates (the 802.11a radio) preferred (see “Preferred Band for
802.11a/g Radio” for more information).
• BGA rates full - All B and G rates and all A rates, with B
and G rates (the .11g radio) preferred (see “Preferred Band for
802.11a/g Radio” for more information).
In SCU, Tx Power displays on the Status window to indicate
of the power of the radio, in milliwatts (mW). This value can
be overwritten by the AP; the AP can dictate to the client what
power to use.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts transmitted data
using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. WEP, which was defined
with the original IEEE 802.11 standards, is not recommended
because a WEP key can be “broken” in less than an hour using
commonly available tools.
WPA/WPA2
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2) are security certifications defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. To earn a WPA or WPA2 certification, a product must
pass a set of tests that elements of the security specification
have been implemented correctly. Since March 2006, WPA2 is
mandatory for all new equipment that is certified by the Wi-Fi
Alliance.
Both WPA and WPA2 include three security elements: authentication, encryption, and encryption key management. WPA
and WPA2 support the same authentication methods and
similar key management methods. The primary difference between the two is in the area of encryption: WPA defines TKIP
as the primary encryption method; WPA2 defines AES-CCMP
as the primary encryption method.
• BG Subset - 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36, and 54 Mbps. This should
only be used with Cisco APs running IOS in autonomous
mode (without controllers). For Cisco APs that are tied to
controllers and for non-Cisco APs, Summit recommends BG
rates full.
• Ad hoc mode instead of infrastructure mode. In infrastructure mode, the radio associates to an AP. In ad hoc mode,
the radio associates to another station radio that is in ad hoc
mode and has the same SSID and, if configured, static WEP
key.
Note: The default is ABG rates full.
Note: See “802.11a/g Radio Mode with 802.11g Radio” for additional information.
Both WPA and WPA2 include a Personal version and an Enterprise version. With WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal, which
SCU refers to as WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, authentication
is done through a pre-shared key (PSK) or passphrase that is
statically configured on every client device and infrastructure
device. With WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise, authentication is IEEE 802.1X, which uses an EAP type. WPA2-Enterprise is the equivalent of IEEE 802.11i, the ratified standard for
Wi-Fi security.
Preferred Band for 802.11a/g Radio
When the radio mode value is ABG rates full, the 5 GHz (A)
band is preferred over the 2.4 GHz (BG) band. When the
radio mode value is BGA rates full, the 2.4 GHz (BG) band is
preferred over the 5 GHz (A) band.
• Ad Hoc - When selected, the Summit radio uses When trying to associate to an access point, the radio considers access
points in the preferred band. If the radio is able to associate
to one of these access points, then the radio will not try to
associate to an access point in the other band. The only time
that the radio attempts to associate to an access point in the
non-preferred band is when the radio is not associated and
cannot associate in the preferred band.
When roaming, the radio considers only access points in the
current band (the band in which the radio is currently associated). The radio will consider an access point in the other band
only if it loses association.
802.11a/g Radio Mode with 802.11g Radio
When an administrator tries to create or edit a profile, SCU determines which radio is operating in the device and populates
the available radio mode values according to the radio type.
Suppose a profile created for an 802.11a/g card is loaded on a
device with an 802.11g card. If a radio mode value of A rates
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
does not save any changes to the profile, then SCU leaves the
profile, including the radio mode, unchanged. If the administrator saves any changes to the profile, then SCU saves the
radio mode value as BG rates full.
SSID
Tx Power
Service Set Identifier. Unique name of up to 32 characters that
identifies a particular 802.11 WLAN.
The SSID is attached to the header of packets that are sent over
a wireless network.
