MX7 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX7RG-B
Radio and Network Setup
Prerequisites
• Network SSID or ESSID number of the Access Point
• WEP or LEAP Authentication Protocol Keys
Note: If the access point uses authentication protocol (LEAP, WEP etc.) your radio must use
the same authentication keys. Please contact your IS department for WEP or LEAP
encryption keys before contacting LXE. WEP and LEAP are authentication protocols
used to encrypt data sent and received from the mobile device to the access point. WEP
is disabled by default.
Note: The MX7 may use either the Funk Odyssey Client or the Summit Client Utility to
configure the radio.
When the MX7 boots up for the first time and all programs are loaded, the Wireless Information
window may appear. The radio is attempting to connect to the local network.
Please refer to Chapter 5 “Wireless Network Configuration” to continue setting up the radio and
network.
