About Wireless Security

The computer provides five types of security for your wireless network:

• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

• 802.1x

• LEAP

• WEP

This section explains how to configure wireless security on your

mobile computer. Intermec recommends that you implement WPA2

security using PSK (Personal) or 802.1X (Enterprise) key management

as appropriate.

You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your

security solution. For details, see the next section, “Choose Between

Microsoft and Funk Security.” Intermec recommends that you

always implement WPA2 security using PSK (Personal) or 802.1X

(Enterprise) key management.

If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x security, this

section also assumes that your authentication server and

authenticators are properly configured.

Choose Between Microsoft and Funk Security

The computer supports both Funk and Microsoft security, which

dynamically select wireless networks based on your preferences. The

option you choose depends on your network security needs.

• If you are using the computer in a static environment that requires

a high level of security, you should use Funk security, which offers

CCX v4.0 compliance, support for LEAP and TTLS, and

configuration for up to four profiles.

To use Funk security, you need to select a profile. For help, see the

next section, “Select a Funk Security Profile.”

Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication

server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft

Active Directory® to issue certificates.
