Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe

62 CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual

WPA runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

mode:

• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using

802.1x and an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

That is, an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server)

must authenticate each device before the device can

communicate with the wireless network.

• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a

shared key between the authenticator and the CV30. WPA-

PSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that

do not want to use an authentication server.

To use WPA security, you need:

• an authentication server (Enterprise mode only).

• an access point with an 802.11 b/g radio that supports WPA.

• a CK32 I-Safe with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA

security option.

The CK32 I-Safe also supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)

if you are using Funk security. WPA2 uses an Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption.

WPA2 runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared

Key) mode:

• For WPA2-802.1x mode, WPA2 requires authentication in

two phases; the first is an open system authentication and the

second uses 802.1x and an Extensible Authentication

Protocol (EAP) authentication method.

• In PSK mode, WPA2 provides user authentication using a

shared key between the authenticator and the CK32 I-Safe.

WPA2-PSK is a good solution for small offices or home

offices that do not want to use an authentication server.

Using Static WEP Security

The CK32 I-Safe uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

protocol to add security to your wireless network based on the

802.11 standard.
