The computer provides these security solutions for your wireless
network:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• 802.1x
• LEAP
• WEP
Intermec recommends WPA2 security with PSK (Personal) or 802.1x
(Enterprise) key management.
Before you set security, you need to enable the radio, set the date, and
set the SSID on your computer. To use 802.1x security, you need to
load a root certificate on your computer. To use transport layer
security (TLS) with 802.1x security, you also need to load a user
certificate.
Use the Settings app to access and configure all wireless security
settings.
You can use digital certificates to identify the computer for network
access or authentication to servers. To use a certificate to identify your
device, you must install it in the trusted credential storage on the
computer.
Android supports DER-encoded X.509 certificates saved in files with a
.crt or .cer file extension. To install a valid certificate with a .der or
other extension, you must change the extension to .crt or .cer to install
it.
Android also supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12 key store
files with a .p12 or .pfx entension. To install a valid key store file with
another extension, you must change the extension to .p12 or .pfx to
install it. When you install a certificate from a PKCS#12 key store,
Android also installs any accompanying private key or certificate
authority certificates.
