CHAPTER FIVE - CONECTIVITY

Note! The above-mentioned recommendation about selecting the 802.1X

supplicant is just one approach. For example, in the case of non-EAP

authentication it could be also straightforward to use the WZC supplicant

depending on how your WLAN access point presents its

authentication/encryption configuration options. So, take the above-

mentioned line of reasoning as a suggestion for selecting the supplicant.

Once you have selected the supplicant you have also selected the WLAN

profile for your WLAN supplicant, although in the case of the SDC Supplicant, the

‘Default’ profile may not be a final one for your WLAN connectivity. No matter which

supplicant is in use, there are radio settings relating to each profile. The SCU

makes those settings available on the ‘Profile’ page in the SCU; see the section

‘Radio Settings Relating to SCU Profile’ on page 70.

Changing Supplicant of WLAN Connectivity

Before you begin, open the SCU utility

(see the section ‘Before Starting to Configure

WLAN ’ on page 62) and select the Main

page, if not selected. If the Active Profile field

has ‘ThirdPartyConfig’ written on it, the WZC

supplicant is in charge of WLAN connectivity.

Other profile names in the Active Profile list

refer to the SDC Supplicant. Before any SDC

profile creation, the list includes only

‘ThirdPartyConfig’ and ‘Default’ profiles,

meaning that the ‘Default’ indicates the SDC

Supplicant.

To change WLAN supplicant to the

other:

1. Tap on the ‘Active Profile’ field

2. Select the profile name of your choice from the list; the SCU prompts you

to suspend/resume your PL3000 before your selection is in use. The warm

boot does not make any difference; use what suits your particular case.

3. Tap on the ‘OK’ button in the notification box to close it

4. Power down your PL3000 by holding down the Power button until the

screen goes blank (or warm boot your PL3000, if it is running off mains).

Note! The SCU does not prompt you to suspend/resume

your PL3000 if you are changing a profile within the SDC

Supplicant. In that case, this operation is done with.
