Psion Teklogix netpad Windows CE .NET 4.2 User Manual
dard does not specify EAP types. LEAP also provides the netpad with a new WEP
key. Each terminal has a unique WEP key to increase the security of the 802.11b
radio link.
Important: This parameter must be enabled before setting a LEAP User Name,
User Password, and User Domain (see page 119).
Note: Host Based EAP is not supported.
WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy)
This parameter specifies the type of wired equivalent privacy (WEP) that your client
adaptor will use. The default setting is No WEP.
No WEP disables WEP for your client adaptor. This is the default value.
Static WEP Keys enables static WEP for your client adaptor after you enter a valid
WEP key.
Dynamic WEP Keys enables WEP keys to be derived automatically during EAP
authentication. If you set the Network Security Type (see page 117) to LEAP,
Dynamic WEP Keys is set automatically and the RADIUS server assigns a
dynamic, session-based WEP key to the adaptor. If you set the Network Security
Type to Host Based EAP, you must set the WEP parameter to Dynamic WEP Keys.
Authentication Type
The value assigned for this parameter determines how the netpad authenticates the
access point. The default setting is Open.
Open authentication allows the netpad, regardless of WEP settings, to associate
with an access point.
Note: If LEAP is enabled on the netpad, Open Authentication is the only avail-
able option.
Shared Key authentication allows the netpad to associate only with access points
that have the same WEP key. The access point sends a known unencrypted “chal-
lenge packet” to the netpad; the netpad encrypts the packet and sends it back to the
access point. The access point attempts to decrypt the encrypted packet and sends an
authentication response packet indicating the success or failure of the decryption
back to the netpad.
