STEP 1: Prepare Network Information

Verify Device and Network Compatibility

Some Pocket PCs can only connect to certain types of WPA and 802.1x
networks. Check with your Pocket PC manufacturer. Your Pocket PC may only
be able to connect to WPA and 802.1x networks that satisfy requirements such
as:

•  Windows Internet Information Service (IIS)
•  Windows Internet Authentication Service (IAS)
•  Windows Certification Authority (CA) with automatic approval and correct

Pocket PC certificate format (via MS certificate template)

• Access point configured only for WPA or 802.1x (i.e., no multi-mode support

or static 128-bit WEP keys)

Prepare Security Settings

If the network is compatible, ask the administrator for the necessary security
settings:

Wireless network name, known as SSID (case sensitive)

Authentication type, user name, password, domain

Pre-Shared Key, key format (hex or ASCII)

Use of either DHCP or Static IP to assign IP addresses

Authentication permission restrictions (e.g., domain administrators only)

For a Network Information Form that you can send to your network
administrator, go to any of the following:
•  Appendix C of this User’s Guide
•  Docs folder on the CD
•  Visit: ftp://ftp.socketcom.com/wlan/WLAN_NetworkForm.txt

If your network only allows domain administrators to authenticate, ask
your network administrator to assign you this privilege.

Obtain Authentication Certificate(s)

Ask the network administrator for a copy of the root certificate from a Trusted
Root Authority (no intermediary authority) if required. Installation
instructions begin on the next page.

EAP-TLS only: You also need to set up a cabled connection to the
network to install a personal certificate. Installation instructions begin
on the next page.
