CN50 Mobile Computer for Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 User Manual 77

You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your

security solution. For details, see the next section.

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 selects wireless networks based on your preferences. The

option you choose depends on your network security needs.

• If you are using the CN50 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.

• If you are primarily using the CN50 to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots,

you may want to use Microsoft security.

To use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security

choice. For help, see “About Microsoft Security” on page 82.

About Funk Security

You can define up to four profiles for Funk security. Different profiles

let your CN50 communicate in different networks without having to

change all of your security settings. For example, you may want to set

up one profile for the manufacturing floor and one for the warehouse.

By default, the active profile is Profile 1.

Select a Funk Security Profile

You can define up to four Funk security profiles.

1 Start Intermec Settings. For help, see “How to Configure the

Computer” on page 60.

2 Choose Communications > 802.11 Radio > Funk Security.

3 Choose a profile. A list of configurable settings appears.

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.
