Rev. 1 OWA 100 Adapter User Manual 23
September 2010
To connect your OWA 100 Adapter to the OneWireless network perform the following steps.
Step Action
1
If the PDA contains no keys, obtain new security keys from the PC
application Key Server Manager.
To do this, select Receive Security Keys. Keys can be received either
through Infrared (by aiming PDA at the infrared dongle) or through an
ActiveSync/USB connection. See Key Server Communication Method
under Advanced options on page 27 for details.
Important: The Comm Method settings must match in the PC’s Key Server
Manager and in the Provisioning Device (both must be set to Infrared or both
to ActiveSync) in order for your PDA to receive security keys. See Key
Server Communication Method under Advanced options on page 27 for
details.

When the Provisioning Device has valid unexpired keys, aim it at the OWA
100 Adapter and transmit a key to the OWA 100 Adapter. The OWA 100
Adapter will validate the key and then use it to make a connection to the
OneWireless Network. The OWA 100 Adapter may continue to show the
diagnostic message “NO KEY” for a brief time while it validates the key
before showing the “DISCOVER” message.
To verify your OWA 100 Adapter has been authenticated, see the Connection
prompt on the Read Node Info screen (page 25).
To decommission your OWA 100 Adapter from the OneWireless network, select Clear Key and Restart
Node. This clears the OWA 100 Adapter’s key, network and security configurations, and resets the OWA
100 Adapter to its factory default settings. To do this perform the following steps.
Select Clear Keys from Handheld (under Advanced Options) when:
 The PDA has keys from one system, but you have moved your Provisioning Device to another system,
or
 you want to clear all keys so that you cannot deploy any more keys without going to the key server
manager and getting more.
