Configuring 802.1X Security - Intermec CK30 User Manual

Configuring 802.1x Security

CK30 Handheld Computer User's Manual
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 system manual for your access point.
• an access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
• a CK30 with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA
security option.
