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
computer. Intermec recommends that you implement WPA2 security
using PSK (Personal) or 802.1X (Enterprise) key management as
appropriate.
You must use either Wireless or Microsoft security to implement your
security solution. For details, see the next section,
Microsoft and Wireless Security."
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.
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication
server. For example, you can choose Wireless security if you use
Microsoft Active Directory® to issue certificates.
The computer supports both Wireless 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 Wireless security, which
offers CCX v4.0 compliance, support for LEAP and TTLS, and
configuration for up to four profiles.
To use Wireless security, you need to select a profile. For help, see
