Choosing Between Funk and Microsoft Security

CK30 Handheld Computer User's Manual
The CK30 provides four types of security for your wireless
network:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• 802.1x
• WEP
This section explains how to configure security on your wireless
CK30. If you choose not to use security, see "Disabling
Security" on page 70. Intermec always recommends that you
implement security.
You must choose to 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 want to extend the connectivity of your WLAN to remote
servers, you can configure a virtual private network (VPN) to
communicate through a dedicated server to a corporate network
over the internet. For help setting up a VPN, see "Configuring a
VPN" on page 70.
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 Internet Authentication Service
(IAS) to issue certificates.
The CK30 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.
