High Encryption Requirements
Depending on your configuration, an IOTA (Internet Over The Air) session may
automatically start as part of the installation/activation process. IOTA requires
high-security 128-bit encryption to establish a secure Internet connection to the
CDMA network. (For more information, see "Data Provisioning [IOTA]" on
page 26.)
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, your computer should already
include high-security 128-bit encryption.
If you are running Windows 2000 with Internet Explorer
1. Ensure you have installed the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack: in Internet
Explorer, select Help > About Internet Explorer.
If you see "Cipher Strength: 128-bit," then the High Encryption Pack is
installed. Proceed to step 2.
If the High Encryption Pack is not installed, download and install it
(www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/encryption).
2. If your version of Internet Explorer is earlier than 5.5, download and install the
latest version (www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads).
If you are running Windows 2000 with Netscape Communicator
Ensure your version of Netscape Communicator is 4.7 or higher.
To verify that your version supports 128-bit encryption:
1. In Navigator, select Help > About Navigator.

In Netscape Communicator, select Help > About Communicator.
