Chapter 4 Using WiFi Communication A. Main Window The Main window provides an overview of the current wireless network connection configuration (Active Profile) The following image (in Figure 5.1) is the SCU Main windows for Windows CE. Figure 5.1: SCU Main Window Enable Radio/Disable Radio When the radio is enabled, select this button (which displays Disable Radio) to disable it. When the radio is disabled, select the same button (which now displays Enable Radio) to enable it.
If the radio Encryption type is set to WEP or a pre‐shared key (WPA‐PSK or WPA2‐PSK), it should now be capable of obtaining an IP address (either statically assigned or through DHCP) and passing traffic. If the radio Encryption type requires EAP authentication then an EAP Type must be properly configured in order for the device to obtain an IP address and be capable of passing traffic.
Figure 5.3: Scan Window Each row shows an AP's SSID, its received signal strength indication (RSSI), and whether or not data encryption is in use (true or false). You can 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. Every five seconds, the Scan window updates the RSSI value for each of the APs in the list. To scan for new APs and view an updated list, tap Refresh.
The Status window provides status information on the radio connection between the client device and the access point to which it's associated. The following image is the SCU Status windows for Windows CE. Figure 5.5: Status Window D. Diags Windows The Diagswindows enables you to troubleshoot connection issues with SCU. The following image is the SCU Diags windows for Windows CE. Figure 5.
remove the radio. E. Global Window Global settings include radio and security settings that apply to all profiles and settings that apply to SCU itself. An administrator can define and change most global settings on the Global window in SCU. The following image is the SCU Global windows for Windows CE Figure 5.
