Loading Certificates
If you choose to use transport layer security (TLS) with WPA or 
802.1x security, you need to have a unique client certificate on 
the CN2A and a trusted root certificate authority (CA) 
certificate. You can use a third-party CA to issue unique client 
certificates and a root certificate. 
If you are using Active Directory
®
 to issue certificates, you can 
use the Enroll Certificates application to load the certificates. If 
you are using a third-party CA, you can use the Import Root or 
User Certificates programs to load the certificates. 
To load certificates on the CN2A if you are using Active Directory
1
Configure the network and radio settings for the CN2A to 
communicate with your certificate authority or establish an 
ActiveSync connection with the CA.

Tap Start > Intermec Settings > Communications > 802.11 
Radio > Security Settings > Certificates.

Select Enroll Certificates and tap Run App.
Note: Do not cold boot the CN2A. Cold booting the computer 
resets the date and time. If you cold boot the CN2A, you must 
immediately update the date and time, or the installed certificates 
may be deemed invalid. For help setting the date and time, see 
Step 4 on page 113.
