Pocket PC 2003 users
: Use your device’s Connection Manager, which
supports WLAN (including 802.1x). Socket’s software for Pocket PC 2003
includes card drivers and Cert Enroll, but no WLAN Tools at this time.
Windows XP users
: You have two software options.
•
For a user interface similar to that of Socket’s WLAN Tools for
Windows CE, install Socket’s WLAN Tools for Windows 2000/XP.
However, Socket’s WLAN Tools for Windows 2000/XP do NOT support
802.1x. If you install Socket’s WLAN Tools on a Windows XP system,
you will disable Microsoft’s Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service
and will have to uninstall and reinstall software to use it again.
•
Microsoft’s Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service is a utility built
into Windows XP that manages and automates WLAN connections. If
you want to use the WLAN card with WZC, install only Socket’s card
drivers. Windows XP with Service Pack 1 supports 802.1x.
To use the WLAN card with a Pocket PC 2000/HPC 2000, get version 124B
of Socket’s software:
