Using Cisco Leap Wireless LAN Security

Using Cisco® LEAP Wireless LAN Security

Your Dell Axim X50 supports 802.1x network authentication between the client and server with a logon password using Cisco LEAP.

Cisco LEAP can be configured using the Odyssey Client application.

NOTE: Before starting, ensure that the Wireless power is enabled using the Wireless On/Off button.

NOTE: LEAP is not supported on a peer-to-peer network. LEAP is not supported on a low configuration Axim X50.

To start Odyssey Client:

1Tap Start →Settings →Connections →Odyssey Client icon.

2Tap Settings →Enable Odyssey.

To start using LEAP:

1Obtain the following information from your network administrator:

•Network name

•Association mode

•Encryption method

2From the Odyssey Client window, tap Settings →Configure →Add.

3Enter the network name (SSID) if known, or tap Scan to search for available Access Points. Tap Next.

4LEAP will only support an infrastructure network, so do not change the default settings in the drop-down menu. Tap Next.

5Fill in the Association Mode and Encryption method. Tap Next.

6EAP/TTLS is the default EAP type. Tap Add and select EAP/LEAP in the window that opens up.
