CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
WPA runs in Enterprise (802.1x) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using 802.1x and 
the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). That is, an authentication 
server (such as a RADIUS server) must authenticate each device before 
the device can communicate with the wireless network.
• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a shared key 
between the authenticator and the CK31. WPA-PSK is a good solution 
for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an authentica-
tion server.
To use WPA security, you need:
• an authentication server (Enterprise mode only). Note that you can also 
use a MobileLAN access point with software release 1.80 or later as an 
authentication server. For help, see the MobileLAN access WA2XG System 
Manual (P/N 074921).
• an access point with an 802.11b/g radio that supports WPA.
• a CN30 Computer with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA secu-
rity option.
