Client Configuration Area Each user account needs to define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. Because Windows Mobile devices are usually small devices with a single NIC and, usually, a single user, the initial configuration is usually the only time the software needs to be set up. The Client will need to be reconfigured if the device is used on multiple networks, or if different users share the computer. Note: Fields are be grayed out if not relevant to the selected protocol.
User Tab The User settings tab defines the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. Field Description Profile Multiple user credential profiles can be created for use when the user roams from one network to another. The drop-down list contains existing authentication credential profiles. Select a profile from the list to edit it in the fields that follow. Tapping Add permits new profiles to be added to the list. A screen appears where you can enter a name for the new profile.
Field Description Use certificate This is the certificate to be used during authentication. A certificate is required for TLS, optional for TTLS and PEAP, and unused by MD5 and LEAP. Therefore, this option becomes active only when TLS, TTLS, or PEAP is selected as the Authentication type. If Use certificate is enabled, the client certificate displayed in the field is the one that is passed to the server for verification.
System Tab The System Settings tab controls logging and the port manger timeout period. Field Description Log Level These settings control the detail of the log messages generated by the Client. Each level is cumulative. By default, all errors, warnings, and information events are logged. Each entry records a severity code (of one [debug message] to four [error] asterisks), a time stamp, and a message. Errors - only the most severe conditions are logged. Warnings - less severe conditions are logged.
Server Tab The Server identity tab defines the credentials the client uses to authenticate the server during TLS/TTLS/PEAP authentication message exchange. The Client uses this information to verify that the Client is communicating with a trusted server. Field Description Do not validate server certificate chain If this option is selected, the server certificate received during the TLS/TTLS/PEAP message exchange is not validated.
Port Settings Area In the Port Settings area, you configure network parameters for each port listed on the main screen; see Main Screen on page 9-17. 1. On the main screen, tap and hold on a port. The Port popup menu appears; see Port Menu on page 9-20. 2. Tap Configure. The Port Settings Configuration screen opens displaying the Wireless Networks tab. On this tab, You… Wireless Networks Tab Set the parameters for Network APs and underlying protocol.
Wireless Networks Tab Field Description Available Networks Section This section displays the networks the terminal recognizes as available to connect to. When the Client is first installed, there are no entries in the Available Networks list. Scan Tap this button to see a list of networks broadcasting their availability. Note: You can also attach to networks who are not broadcasting. Move to Configured This button activates only after Scan has been tapped and available networks have been retrieved.
Field Description Properties Tap this button to review the properties of a network selected in the list. This button opens the same network configuration screen as the Add button does; use it to edit network configuration properties. Protocol Tab The Protocol tab enables you to configure parameters that will apply to all the networks the selected port connects to. Field Description Protocol Settings These are the timer intervals and retry settings defined in the 802.1X standard.
Adding a Wireless Network Configuration To add a wireless network configuration, on the main screen, tap and hold on the port, tap Configure on the Port popup menu, then tap Add in the Network Configurations section of the Wireless Networks tab. The Network Profile screen opens displaying the Profile Info tab. Profile Info Tab Field Description Network Profile Enter the name of this record. This is the name that appears in the Configured Networks list and, by default, is the same as the broadcast SSID.
WEP Mgmt Tab The WEP Mgmt tab enables you to set WEP parameters for each port. Note: The settings on this tab window are interrelated. This means that selecting one may disable access to others. Field Description Provide encryption key dynamically This option is selected by default. If this option is selected, the other WEP settings on this page are disabled. To enter a custom WEP, de-select this option. The other fields become active.
WPA Settings Tab The WPA Settings tab enables you to configure WPA settings. Field Description WPA Mode This drop-down list contains the following options: • Disabled - Do not enable WPA mode. This is the default selection. • WPA 802.1x - Enable WPA and obtain key information through the 802.1x protocol. • WPA PSK - Enable WPA with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) information entered in the field below. This mode is used if the 802.1x protocol is not being used for authentication.
If you wish to start with a blank file, exit from the Client (so the icon no longer appears at the lower right of the screen) and delete the log file (log8021x) in File Explorer; see Finding and Organizing Information on page 4-12. When you restart the Client, a new log file is created. Installing Certificates with CertAdd Certificate Requirements During configuration, you may have specified one or two certificates to use during the authentication process.
2. Go to Start > Programs > Meetinghouse Certificate Installer. The opening screen is displayed. All valid certificate file types located in the My Documents folder appear in the list. 3. Tap and hold on a certificate in the list. A pop-up appears asking if you want to install the certificate. 4. Tap OK. The certificate is loaded into the correct certificate store.
Advice and Workarounds Issue Possible Causes and Solutions The Client is failing authentication even though all my information was entered correctly. 1. Verify that the network profile for the AP corresponds to the authentication profile you created for it. • • • Select the network profile in the Configured Networks list. Tap Properties. The Profile Info tab opens - see page 9-29. In the Authentication profiles drop-down list, select the profile you want to review. • Tap View.
How 802.1X Works The network elements in the above graphics are those involved in a typical wireless LAN. When 802.1X is running, a wireless device must authenticate itself with the AP in order to get access to the Existing LAN. With respect to the terms used in the 802.1X standard, APs (APs) function as authenticators and wireless devices function as supplicants. The authenticator keeps a control port status for each Client it is serving.
Typical Message Exchange Using TTLS and PEAP The above graphic shows a typical message flow for a TTLS transaction. TTLS authentication comprises two phases. In Phase 1, TLS is used to authenticate the TTLS server to the client. The TTLS server may optionally request authentication of the client's certificate, but by default the client verifies only the server's certificate. The TLS handshake is negotiated between the client and the TTLS server.
For example, the following graphic displays the authentication flow for a mobile user who wishes to create a virtual private network with his home office. By using the Client, the user can associate with a wireless network provided by a third party, in this case the ISP. We assume that the company and the ISP have established a service relationship beforehand.

11 Wireless WAN Communications with GSM/GPRS Overview Dolphin 7900 terminals can be configured with a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) via an integrated Siemens® GSM/GPRS tri-band radio module. GSM GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. It is an open, non-proprietary wireless wide area networking system that is constantly evolving and growing. One of its great strengths is international roaming capability, which provides standardized dialing in more than 170 countries.
SIM Card SIM stands for Subscriber Information Module. A SIM card stores the subscriber's personal information, GSM/GPRS radio settings, security key, contacts, etc. SIM cards can be installed and removed from compatible mobile devices, enabling you to switch devices without losing your personal information. SIM cards are obtained and activated by the network provider that supports your GSM/GPRS network.
