You access the Network window from the Config Tab (see page 1-6) by • Tapping New on the Config tab. • Scanning for wireless network devices and adding them to your network; see Using the Scan Feature on page 1-7. • Selecting an existing configuration and tapping Modify. The Network window prompts you to complete the fields required by the connection options you select.
Association Modes The association mode you select from the Assoc. Mode drop-down list determine the fields that appear on the Network window. Different types of association modes require specific information or offer certain configuration options. The available association modes are: • None (see page 1-9) • WEP (see page 1-11) • IEEE 802.
Field Description Anonymous ID Enter the anonymous ID. This ID creates a tunnel through which the real ID (as entered in the Identity field) can pass. For additional security, make this ID different than the one entered in the Identity field. File Store Cert Store Click one of these radio buttons to select the location of the certificate(s). For example, if the certificate is stored in IPSM or an SD card as a file, then use File Store.
WEP When you select WEP as the association mode, you can select Open or Shared Encryption and enter your keys. WPA-Personal (PSK) & WPA2-Personal (PSK) Supported Encryption Methods • TKIP • AES-CCMP • TKIP+CCMP PSK (Pre-Shared Key) The PSK field is where you enter the pre-shared key. This field accepts ASCII keys between 8–63 characters long. A hexadecimal PSK can also be entered instead of an ASCII key. Hexadecimal PSKs must be exactly 64 characters and can only contain hexadecimal digits (A–F, 0–9).
Secret passwords or encryption keys are entered into both sides of the message exchange ahead of time. Preshared keys (PSK) are typed into the clients and servers (authentication servers, access points, etc.). WPA-Enterprise (EAP) & WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) Note: The Dolphin 7600 with Windows CE 5.0 does not support EAP methods.
Common Configurations This section contains some of the most common network configurations in detail, including: • WEP (see page 1-13) • PEAPv1-MSCHAPV2 (see page 1-14) • WPA-PSK (see page 1-14) WEP When you select WEP as the association mode, you can select Open or Shared encryption to authenticate via a specific key. 1. On the Today screen, tap the icon in the command bar 2. Tap the Config tab. 3. Tap New. 4. On the Network window, type in the SSID. 5. Select WEP as the Assoc. Mode. 6.
PEAPv1-MSCHAPV2 1. On the Today screen, tap the icon in the command bar . 2. Tap the Config tab. 3. Tap New. 4. On the Network window, type in the SSID. 5. Select IEEE 802.1X (WEP) as the Assoc. Mode. 6. Select PEAPv1-MSCHAPV2 as the EAP Method. 7. Enter the Identity (see page 1-9) and Password (see page 1-9). 8. If you want to, you can enter an Anonymous ID (see page 1-10) or a CA or Client certificate (see page 1-10).
Static IP You establish a static IP through the radio driver, not the SWC. After the static IP address is established in the radio driver, you configure your wireless connection in SWC as usual. Setting up a Static IP on Windows Mobile-based devices (7600, 7850, 9700, 9900 and 99EX) 1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Network Cards. 2. Tap on the network adapter.
