Intermec 751G Using 802.1x Authentication, Configuring WPA-PSK Security With Funk Security

Chapter 5 — Network Support

Configuring WPA-PSK Security With Funk Security

Use this procedure to set WPA-PSK security on your 751G with Funk security.

1Make sure you have configured the communications and radio parameters on your 751G and that Funk is your security choice.

2Open Intermec Settings. Tap (+) to expand Communications > 802.11 Radio > Funk Security > Profile X with “X” being “1” through “4.”

3For Association, select “WPA” and press Enter.

4For 8021x, select “None” and press Enter.

5For Pre-Shared Key, enter the pre-shared key or the passphrase.

The pre-shared key must be a value of 32 hex pairs preceded by 0x for a total of 66 characters. The value must match the key value on the access point. The passphrase must be from 8 to 63 chtomaracters. After you enter a passphrase, the 751G internally converts it to a pre-shared key. This value must match the passphrase on the authenticator.

6Exit the Intermec Settings applet.

Using 802.1x Authentication

802.1x authentication provides centralized user authentication using an authentication server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These components communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP key management. To use 802.1x security, you need:

•An access point with an 802.11b/g radio.

•A 751G with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option.
