Wireless Zero Config Utility and the Summit Radio
• The WZC utility has an icon in the toolbar that looks like networked computers with
a red X through them, indicating that Wireless Zero Config application is enabled
but the connection is inactive at this time (the VX5 is not connected to a network).
• You can use either the Wireless Zero Configuration Utility or the Summit Client
Utility to connect to your network. LXE recommends using the Summit Client
Utility to connect to your network for all methods except EAP-TLS. The Wireless
Zero Configuration Utility cannot control the complete set of security features of the
radio.
Select ThirdPartyConfig in the Active Profile drop down list as the active profile. The Summit
Client Utility passes control to Wireless Zero Config and the WZC Wireless Information control
panel.
Next select Start | Control Panel | Network Connections. Click the Wireless connection and
then click the Properties button. Next select the Wireless Network tab. Make sure the
Make sure “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings” is checked. Use the options
in the Wireless Zero Config panels to setup radio and security settings.
To switch back to Summit Client radio control, uncheck “Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings”. Start the SCU and select any other profile in the drop down list, except
ThirdPartyConfig. Radio control is passed to the SCU.
Note: Wireless Zero Config must be used for EAP-TLS authentication.
