STEP 2: Install Authentication Certificate(s)

If your network uses PEAP authentication, you need to install only a root

certificate. If your network uses EAP-TLS authentication, you need to

install both a root and a personal certificate.

1. If you have not done so already, get a root (server) certificate from

your network administrator. The root certificate must come from a

Trusted Root Authority (not an intermediary authority).

2. If Socket Go Wi-Fi! is inserted into your Pocket PC, remove it.

3. Use a serial/USB cable or cradle and make an active connection

between your Pocket PC and host PC.

• If your host computer is running Windows Vista, use the Windows Mobile

Device Center.

• If your host computer is running Windows 2000/XP, ActiveSync 4.0 or

greater is required.

4. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to access your Mobile Device

and copy the root certificate into your Pocket PC. Remember where

you save the certificate.

5. On your Pocket PC, use File Explorer to navigate to the file location.

Tap on the certificate.

6. A message will ask if you want to install the certificate. Tap Yes.

• If your network uses PEAP, disconnect your Pocket PC from the host PC.

Soft reset the Pocket PC by pressing the reset button. Now you are ready

for Step 3, preparing the Wi-Fi hardware.

• If your network uses EAP-TLS, you also need to install a personal

(client) certificate.
