Chapter 2 — Connecting and Configuring the CN4
60 CN4 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
This section explains how to configure wireless security on your CN4.
If you choose not to use security, see
“Disabling Security” on
page 70. Intermec recommends that you always implement security.
You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your
security solution. For details, see the next section,
“Choosing
Between Microsoft and Funk Security.”
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.
Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security
The CN4 supports both Funk and Microsoft security, which
dynamically select wireless networks based on your preferences. The
option you choose depends on your network security needs.
• If you are using the CN4 in a static environment that requires a
high level of security, you should use Funk security, which offers
these additional features:
• CCX v4.0 compliance
• Support for LEAP and TTLS
• Configuration of up to four profiles
To use Funk security, you need to select a profile. For help, see the
next section,
“Selecting a Funk Security Profile.”
• If you are primarily using the CN4 to connect to WiFi hotspots,
you may want to use Microsoft security.
To use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security
choice. For help, see
“Selecting Microsoft as Your Security
Choice” on page 65.
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.
