Chapter 2 — Connecting and Configuring the CN3
58 CN3 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual for Windows Mobile 5.0
This section explains how to configure wireless security on your CN3.
If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling Security” on
page 68. Intermec always recommends that you implement security.
You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your
security solution. For details, see the next section, “Choosing
Between Microsoft and Funk Security.”
If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x security, this
section also assumes that your authentication server and
authenticators are properly configured.
Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security
The CN3 supports both Funk (default) and Microsoft security. The
options you choose depends on your network needs.
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication
server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use
Microsoft Active Directory® to issue certificates.
Understanding Microsoft and Funk Security
Security Choice Description
Microsoft Microsoft security dynamically selects wireless networks
based on your preferences. If you are primarily using the C
CN3 to connect to WiFi hotspots, you may want to use
Microsoft security.
To use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your
security choice. For help, see “Selecting Microsoft as
Your Security Choice” on page 63.
Funk (default) Funk security offers features that are similar to Microsoft
security, but Funk also offers these features:
• CCX v2.0 compliance
• Support for LEAP and TTLS
• Configuration of up to four profiles
If you are using the CK3 in a static environment that
requires a high level of security, you should use Funk
security.
To use Funk security, you need to select a profile. For
help, see the next section, “Selecting a Funk Security
Profile.”
