Cisco Wireless Security
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is only available on mobile device’s equipped with the updated
Cisco client driver (release 2.60 or later).
•
WPA requires software revision 1ED or greater. To identify the software revision, tap on the
About icon in the Control Panel.
•
Refer to the LXE Security Primer to prepare the Authentication Server and Access Point for
MX5X communication.
•
It is important that all dates are correct on CE computers when using any type of certificate.
Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
System Requirements
To support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), the mobile device must be equipped with a Cisco 350
wireless card with driver release 2.60 (or later).
The LXE MX5X supports WPA and all authentications. The Microsoft supplicant and Cisco
supplicants are used separately or together to provide support for the different authentications.
Most of the configuration is done with the Microsoft Wireless Configuration tool.
WPA/LEAP requires the Cisco supplicant and Cisco ACU configuration tool.
Installing Cisco Wireless Client Drivers
Which version of the Cisco client driver should be installed depends on what authentication
protocol is to be configured.
•
Cisco PEAP should not be installed if using PEAP/MSCHAP.
•
Cisco PEAP must be installed if using PEAP/GTC.
•
For all other authentications (LEAP, EAP-TLS, WPA-PSK) it does not matter if Cisco PEAP
is installed or not.
To determine if Cisco PEAP is installed or to change the installation, refer to the instructions in
the following sections.
