About Wireless Security
The computer provides five types of security for your wireless network:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• 802.1x
• LEAP
• WEP
This section explains how to configure wireless security on your mobile computer. ecom
instruments recommends that you implement WPA2 security using PSK (Personal) or
802�1X (Enterprise) key management as appropriate�
You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your security solution�
For details, see the next section, Choose Between Microsoft and Funk Security�” ecom
instruments recommends that you always implement WPA2 security using PSK (Per-
sonal) or 802�1X (Enterprise) key management�
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.
Note:
Your security choice does not depend on your authentication server� For example, you
can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft Active Directory® to issue certificates.
Choose Between Microsoft and Funk Security

wireless networks based on your preferences� The option you choose depends on your
network security needs�

Security Choice” on page 47�
Select a Funk Security Profile
