High Encryption Requirements (Windows)

Depending on your configuration, an IOTA (Internet Over The Air) session may automatically start as part of the installation/activation process. IOTA requires high-security 128-bit encryption to establish a secure Internet connection to the CDMA network. (For more information, see “Data Provisioning [IOTA]” on page 27.)

If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, your computer should already include high-security 128-bit encryption.

If you are running Windows 2000 with Internet Explorer

1.Ensure you have installed the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack: in Internet Explorer, select Help > About Internet Explorer.

If you see “Cipher Strength: 128-bit,” then the High Encryption Pack is installed. Proceed to step 2.

If the High Encryption Pack is not installed, download and install it

(www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/encryption).

2.If your version of Internet Explorer is earlier than 5.5, download and install the latest version (www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads).
