8. Select the IP Config tab to configure the following mobile computer profile network address
parameters: IP address, subnet, gateway, DNS and WINS. Changes made within the IP
Config tab only impact the profile selected in the Mode tab and do not impact the network
address parameters configured for other profiles.

• Select Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) from the IP Type drop down list to
obtain a leased IP address and network configuration information from a DHCP server.
DHCP is the default setting for the mobile computer profile. When DHCP is selected, the
IP address fields are read-only.
Tap Passkey to display the Passkey window. Enter an easy-to-remember 4 to 26
character string to be used as the WEP algorithm. Tap OK. The AP transforms the
Passkey string into a set of four WEP keys using MD5 algorithms and displays them
in the WEP fields. These are the new WEP keys for the mobile computer profile. Once
displayed in the WEP key fields, the adapter profile behaves as if the keys were
entered manually.
Kerberos is a different form of 128-bit data security whereby a mobile computer is
required to have its request for AP resources authenticated with a Kerberos server
before the server permits the AP to transmit and receive data with the associated
mobile computer.
Select Kerberos and enter the key distribution center (KDC) and Realm values. The
KDC is located on a server and maintains information about the APs and users it
supports. The KDC also permits the transmission and receipt of data once the
credentials of the user are verified. Enter the domain of the server that hosts the
Kerberos KDC in the Realm field.
LEAP is a security protocol that provides authentication and encryption for wireless
networks. See Using LEAP for Wireless Network Security on page 6-21
information on setting LEAP passwords.
