7. If the network is an ad-hoc connection, then tap the This is a device-to-computer (ad-hoc)
connection box.
8. If network authentication or data encryption is required, then follow the instructions in the
following section, " Working with HP supported wireless authentication protocols
authentication or data encryption is not required, then tap OK repeatedly until you return to the

Working with HP supported wireless authentication protocols
Instructions for configuring an HP iPAQ with a high-security authentication protocol vary between
product series and the selected protocol. Other affecting issues are ROM releases, operating systems,
and protocol-specific requirements, to name a few.
The following instructions are intended as a roadmap to help you get started. Actual implementation
may require additional steps, consultation with ISPs, network administrators, and implementation
direction from third-party software companies such as Cisco Systems. Assistance may also be
obtained from the HP web site (
The procedure for setting up an HP supported authentication protocol on an HP iPAQ Pocket PC
h4100 or h4300 series handheld device varies depending on the ROM version on the device.
Note: HP iPAQ Pocket PC h4100 or h4300 series devices are not CCX compliant and Cisco Aironet Extension is not
supported. The following instructions are for using HP iPAQ Pocket PC h4100 or h4300 series devices in a CISCO LEAP
environment.
ROM version 1.10
Perform the following steps to begin setting up an HP supported authentication protocol on an
HP iPAQ Pocket PC h4100 or h4300 series handheld device with ROM version 1.10:
1. After the wireless network has been added, then on the Configure Wireless Network screen, tap
the Network Key tab. If in doubt about possible required authentication information, then contact
the system administrator.
2. Select the type of network authentication to be used:
• Open
• Shared
• WPA
• WPA-PSK
3. Select the type of data encryption to be used:
• For open or shared network authentication, only WEP data encryption is available. To enable
WEP data encryption, select WEP from the Data Encryption drop-down list.
• If WPA or WPA-PSK was selected in step 10, then TKIP and WEP are both available data
encryption options. To enable data encryption, select the desired protocol from the Data
Encryption drop-down list.
4. If a network key is provided by the network automatically, then tap the The Key is provided for me
automatically checkbox. Otherwise, enter the network key in the Network key box.
5. If IEEE 802.1x is supported by the network environment, then tap the 802.1x tab. On the 802.1x
tab, check the Use IEEE 802.1x network access control checkbox. Select the appropriate EAP type
from the drop-down list. 802.1x provides an increased level of security. If unsure whether the
network environment supports the 802.1x protocol, then contact the network administrator.
6. Tap OK twice to exit the Configure Network Authentication window and Configure wireless
networks window.
