3 Choose Communications > 802.11 Radio > Security
Settings > Microsoft Security.
4 For Infrastructure Mode, choose Infrastructure.
5 For Network Authentication, choose WPA-PSK.
6 For Data Encryption, choose TKIP.
7 For Pre-Shared Key, enter the pre-shared key or the
passphrase.
The pre-shared key must be a value of 32 hex pairs preceded
by 0x for a total of 66 characters. The value must match the
key value on the authenticator. The passphrase must be from
8 to 63 characters. After you enter a passphrase, the CK31G
internally converts it to a pre-shared key.
This value must match the passphrase on the authenticator.
8 Exit Intermec Settings.
802.1x security provides centralized user authentication using an
authentication server, authenticators (access points), and
supplicants. These components communicate using an EAP
authentication type, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) or
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x
security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP key
management.
To use 802.1x security, you need:
• An authentication server
Note: You can also use a MobileLAN access point with
software release 1.80 or later as an authentication server. For
help, see the MobileLAN access WA2XG System Manual (P/N
074921).
• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio
• A CK31G with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA
security option
