Intermec cn30 User Guide

Before you can implement a security solution on the CN30 Computer, you 
need to choose between Microsoft and Funk security:

• Funk security is the default setting. It provides everything you get with 

Microsoft security plus the addition of CCX v1.0 compliance. If you 
want to use Funk security, you can start configuring your security now. 
See “Configuring Funk Security” below.

• If you want to use Microsoft security, you need to select Microsoft secu-

rity as your security choice, then do your configurations. Go to “Config-
uring Microsoft Security” on page 154 to begin.

You can define up to four profiles for your Funk Odyssey security. Different 
profiles let your CN30 Computer communicate in different networks with-
out having to change all of your security settings. For example, you might 
want to set up one profile for the manufacturing floor and one for the ware-
house.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced, interoperable Wi-Fi 
security that addresses many of the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Pri-
vacy (WEP). Instead of WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol 
(TKIP) for its data encryption method.

Currently, WPA satisfies some of the requirements in the IEEE 802.11i 
draft standard. When the standard is finalized, WPA maintains forward 
compatibility.

WPA (Wi-Fi 
Protected 
Access)

This is an enhanced version of WEP that does not rely on a static, shared key. It encompasses a 
number of security enhancements over WEP, including improved data encryption via TKIP and 
802.11b/g authentication with EAP. WiFi Alliance security standard is designed to work with 
existing 802.11 products and to offer forward compatibility with 802.11i.

WPA2 (Wi-Fi 
Protected 
Access)

Second generation of WPA security. Like WPA, WPA2 provides enterprise and home Wi-Fi users 
with a high level of assurance that their data remains protected and that only authorized users can 
access their wireless networks. WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 
standard ratified in June 2004. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data 
encryption and is eligible for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140-2 compliance. 

Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication server. 
For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft Active 
Directory® to issue certificates.

Select Start > Settings > the System tab > the Intermec Settings icon.

Tap (+) to expand Communications > 802.11 Radio > Funk Security.

Select an active profile, then configure its security settings.
