Using the Wireless LAN

LEAP Registration Utility

Cisco LEAP is an 802.1X authentication protocol that uses a username and password pair to authenticate access by a wireless client to a wireless router.

Use of the LEAP registration utility is required to log on to a LEAP-authenticated network. Most of the other types of secure networks are set up automatically by the iPAQ WLAN connection software. However, accessing a LEAP-authenticated network requires initial registration using this utility. Once you have authenticated and accessed this type of network, a connection can take place automatically whenever you access the LEAP-authenticated network.

To register the LEAP utility:

1.Tap Start > Settings > System tab > LEAP.

2.Tap New to create a LEAP profile. A LEAP profile must contain the following information:

❏SSID

❏Username

❏Password

❏Domain

❏Authentication type required by the LEAP server

3.Tap Modify to make changes to the selected LEAP profile from the Wireless LEAP list. Changes to the LEAP profile can also be made by tapping on an entry in the Wireless LEAP list.

4.Tap Delete to delete the selected LEAP profile from the Wireless LEAP list.
