Configuring Security; Choosing Between Funk And Microsoft Security - Intermec CK31 User Manual

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK31

Configuring Security

The CK31 provides four types of security for your wireless
network:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)
• 802.1x
• WEP
This section explains how to configure security on your wireless
CK31. If you choose not to use security, see "Disabling
Security" on page 75. Intermec always recommends that you
implement security.
You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement
your security solution. For details, see the next section,

"Choosing Between Funk and Microsoft Security."

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. For more
information on 802.1x security, see the MobileLAN™ secure
802.1x Security Solution Installation Guide (P/N 073134)
available at www.intermec.com.
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your
authentication server. For example, you can choose Funk security
if you use Microsoft Active Directory
Choosing Between Funk and Microsoft Security
The CK31 provides both Funk and Microsoft security choices.
Funk security is the default setting. Use the following sections to
set security using either Funk or Microsoft as your security
choice.
Both Funk and Microsoft offer similar features, but Funk
security also offers these features:
• CCX v2.0 compliance
• Support for LEAP and TTLS
