4 - 36 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
Authentication Mode
Omnii supports several classes of authentication – Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 (Personal PSK, Enterprise,
CCKM-WPA, CCKM-WPA2), and 802.1x with EAP. Tapping on the Auth. Mode menu displays your
authentication options.
Open Authentication
Open
authentication does not provide security. When this option is chosen, Omnii will connect to wireless
networks which do not use authentication or encryption.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP provides static security to prevent others from acciden
tally accessing your network. If you choose this
option, you can specify the type of WEP authentication – Open or Shared, the WEP security key length – 64 bit
or 128 bit and the key type – ASCII or Hex. WEP Key fields are also provided where you can specify a 5 or 13
ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP
key on the access point.
802.1X, WPA & WPA2 Enterprise, CCKM-WPA & CCKM-WPA2
These authentication modes use 80
2.1X with EAP authentication. When 802.1X is selected, Omnii uses WEP
encryption with automatic (as opposed to static) keying. For the others, you may choose TKIP, AES or
TKIP+AES encryption.
NOTE Each Auth. Mode has a unique Configure Profile screen attached to it with fields
appropriate to the authorization mode you’ve chosen.
