Chapter 5: SettingsManage TriggersiKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 117• Tap on the Hardware tab, and choose a GPS hardware port and the appropriate Baud rate.Windows Mobile 6 automatically manages access to the GPS receiver. However, some pro-grams may not work with automatic configuration. If this is the case:• Tap on the Access tab, and disable Manage GPS automatically (recommended).You can go to www.microsoft.com/pocketstreets if a map-viewing program is not included with your PDA, and copy the file to your PDA.5.22 Manage TriggersManage Triggers allows you to configure how bar code scanners and other devices such as RFID readers are triggered. You can configure the trigger ID for each trigger button for both single- and double-click, and the double-click time.
Chapter 5: SettingsTrigger Mappings118 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual• Tap on Start>Settings>System tab>Manage Triggers icon.5.22.1 Trigger MappingsA trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or application, the module(s)– sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)”–of the trigger source. Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hard-ware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.Double-ClickWhen a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger Press Type” on page 120.Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1] cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger type is different.A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to applications.
Chapter 5: SettingsTrigger MappingsiKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 119Show All ModulesBy default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or applications that are not currently active are not normally displayed. By checking this checkbox, all mappings, both active and inactive, are displayed.AddTapping this button brings up the Add mapping dialog (see below), so that you can add new trigger mappings.EditTapping this button brings up the Edit mapping dialog, so that you can edit existing trigger mappings.RemoveTapping this button removes an existing mapping.OKThe OK button in the top right of the Manage Triggers screen saves all changes made. If the [ESC] key is pressed, all changes made will be discarded.5.22.1.1 Add And Edit Trigger Mapping• Tap on Add to add a new trigger map, or tap on Edit to edit an existing trigger map.Trigger KeyThis dropdown list allows you to specify the source of the trigger events, such as the Grip Trigger, Left Scan, etc., for the trigger module selected.
Chapter 5: SettingsTrigger Mappings120 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User ManualAdd KeyOnly existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new source to this list, tap on the Add Key button. A dialog box pops up, allowing you to select the key-board key to use as a trigger source.Trigger Press TypeYou can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally, when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to the “owner”—that is, the application receiving the trigger press information—followed by a “trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released, and then pressed again, a “double-click” event will occur. If a mapping with the Up/down type has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of trigger events.Module To TriggerThis identifies the driver or application receiving the trigger presses.Show All ModulesBy default, inactive owners are not shown. By checking this checkbox, all owners, both active and inactive, are displayed.Note: It is possible to map the same source to different modules (trigger consumers—for example, to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so, both devices/opera-tions will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers.It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger con-sumer)—for example, two different trigger keys can be mapped to the RFID File System.

Chapter 5: SettingsSuspend Threshold126 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual5.24.5 Suspend ThresholdThis applet allows you to determine the amount of battery power that you want to reserve in the battery to protect the data stored in the iKôn PDA.5.24.5.1 Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery BackupThe Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that is reserved to protect data until a charged battery can be installed in the PDA. When the battery capacity is depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend Threshold tab, the PDA shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored on the iKôn PDA. Once the PDA shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh battery is installed, or the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 124 hours.•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for backup purposes; this increases the PDA’s operating time – the amount of time the PDA will operate before shutting down – but reduces the power reserved for backup purposes to a minimum of 24 hours. Internal super-capacitors will protect the data stored in the iKôn PDA while the battery is swapped for a fully charged one. Important: Once the battery is removed, the super-capacitors will preserve the data stored on the iKôn PDA for approximately 5 minutes. It is critical that you install a charged battery before this time elapses.

Note: When decoding multiple bar codes in one image, the value assigned to ‘Decoder Tim-eout’ should be increased to 200ms/extra bar code after the first.Adaptive Windowing“Adaptive Windowing” is an advanced technique used to speed up bar code recognition in certain applications. This parameter automatically reduces the size of the window to the user-programmed window size when it successfully decodes (which reduces decode time the next time it is used), but increases it to the full size window (1280x1024 for SX5303) on a failed decode.Note: “Auto Exposure” must be set to ‘on’ in order for this parameter to function.

Chapter 5: SettingsOptions Tab172 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual5.28.4 Options TabThis tab allows you to tailor the double-click parameters and the display options associated with your scanner.5.28.4.1 Double Click ParametersClick Time (msec)This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click. If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is con-sidered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this feature.A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click Data”, double-click-ing the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the “Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan.Click DataFor both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your PDA following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the key-press is displayed.
Chapter 5: SettingsOptions TabiKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 1735.28.4.2 Display ParametersScan ResultWhen this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen.Scan IndicatorWhen this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner is activated.Scan Result Time (sec)The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value.Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan BeepThese parameters determine whether or not the PDA emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it.Soft Scan TimeoutThis parameter is used by the SDK “Scan” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the SDK function, instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.). Scan Log FileIf this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the “Scan Log File” is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log file is written to persistent storage.Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.

Chapter 5: SettingsTotal Recall176 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual• Verify barcode size – verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally be assigned first, before creating subsequent rules.• Search and replace – replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule cannot fail.)Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file (see “Scan Log File” on page 173) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing. 5.29 Total RecallTotal Recall is a Psion Teklogix utility developed to back up/restore applications and settings. Warning: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code size is important, it should be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied.Note: In Windows Mobile 6, the registry and installed programs are stored in the Flash file system and are not lost on reset.However, in special cases where Psion Teklogix personnel find it necessary to perform a clean start, this will reset not only the reg-istry settings to factory defaults, but will also erase any files or applications stored or installed on the built-in Flash file system, including any Total Recall profiles. This is why any data that needs to be protected must be stored on a SD/MMC card or externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.

To activate the automatic connection mode:
Chapter 5: SettingsTools MenuiKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 207• Tap on the OK button.While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto. To close the currently active connection (if any) and disable the automatic connection mode:• Tap on Disable Auto.Use Virtual Serial PortIf Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly. This checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network) clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The default setting is disabled (unchecked).Enable Automatic ConfigurationIn most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is re-quired. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is detected (this may require a reset). The connection parameters are retrieved from a database. Manual configuration should be necessary only if:• One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.)• An operator has assigned individual packet data user names and passwords. • A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be configured manually.• A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be configured manually.Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected to open and close connections. If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes the packet data connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try to re-establish the connection.Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port.
Chapter 5: SettingsToo ls Menu208 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User ManualIn the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a profile. Every profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special in that it is always present and can neither be edited nor deleted. (A sample dialog box is pre-sented on the page following.) The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database. The home network (the network that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While there can be many configured profiles, only one profile can be active at any time.If connection profiles are configured manually then the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox should normally be unchecked.In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, auto-matic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured profile for each SIM card. For this to work each profile has to be configured while the corre-sponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM is ready).The Select profile drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects which profile a subsequent action applies to. A profile named Default is always present and contains the current parameters from the database. The following actions are available:•Show – The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap on this button. For the Default profile, the publicly known password is shown – otherwise, the password is hidden.•Edit – The parameters of the selected profile can be edited when you choose the Edit button. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the Default profile.•Delete – The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile.•Activate – When this button is chosen, the selected profile is made the active profile. Activation is possible only if the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox is unchecked.Important: For CDMA/1xRTT, automatic configuration is not available – connec-tions must be configured manually. Under APN, the packet service access number must be entered (typically “#777”).
Chapter 5: SettingsTools MenuiKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 209•New – Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile. The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a secret password and unauthorized access to the device is a concern even after the SIM PIN has been entered, the password should not be entered in the New Data Profile dialog box and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this case, you will be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button in the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected).•Reset – The Reset button in the New Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes resets all entry fields to the values they had when the dialog box was opened.
Chapter 5: SettingsToo ls Menu210 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual•Advanced IP – The Advanced IP button in the Show Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes opens another dialog box that allows you to configure a static IP address as well as the IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS and WINS resolvers.5.36.5.2 Security ConfigurationThe Security Configuration dialog box is called up through the Tools menu.The Security Configuration dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN. You will need the current PIN to make any of these changes. The PIN must be enabled in order to be changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry field is greyed out.)The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By de-fault, this checkbox is unchecked. While the checkbox remains unchecked, any PIN entered on startup or through the Security Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to the modem is stored in memory for as long as the device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is then used without further user interaction whenever the modem requires a PIN (such as resume after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically entered in the Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up. Note: Security configuration is not available with CDMA modems.Note: Keep in mind that some network operators do not allow the SIM PIN to be dis-abled. A new PIN must consist of 4 to 8 numeric digits.
Chapter 5: SettingsTools MenuiKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 211If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox should be checked. In this case, you will be prompted whenever a PIN is required and the PIN is not stored.5.36.5.3 Network ConfigurationIn the main Wireless WAN screen:• Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network.By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have packet data roaming agreements. In this case, you’ll need to manually select the network which you know to support packet data roaming.Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable auto-matic network select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is disabled, you must select a network manually.Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for avail-able networks is a lengthy operation – a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network identi-fier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code) is displayed.Note: Network configuration is not available with CDMA modems.Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘Available’ status, it does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement cov-ers packet data. A status of ‘Forbidden’ indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN dialog box changes to ‘Emergency calls only’, ‘No network found’, ‘GPRS not available’ or ‘GPRS not allowed’.
Chapter 5: SettingsToo ls Menu212 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual5.36.5.4 Driver Mode ConfigurationBy default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked). The driver must be disabled in order to access the modem directly (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approv-als, etc.). In most cases, the Virtual WWAN serial port can be used and it is not necessary to disable the WWAN driver. If the Enable driver checkbox is not checked, the driver is shut down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box tapped. If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver check-box is checked, the Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is closed using the OK button. Since all currently supported modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port detection checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a serial port can be selected manually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used with an in-ternal GSM modem that was not recognized by the automatic detection or an external GSM modem connected to a serial port of the computer through USB or through Bluetooth. An external modem connected to a serial port must support 115.2kbit/s, 8bit, no parity and hard-ware flow control.5.36.5.5 Modem InformationThe fields in this dialog box cannot be edited – they only display information about the iKôn PDA modem. If the network operator has not programmed a user’s phone number into the Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can be displayed.

The modem serial number is called IMEI for GSM modems and ESN for CDMA modems.The SIM ID is sometimes referred to as the ICC ID (International Charge Card Identifier). Not all modems support the retrieval of the SIM ID. In particular, the Novatel Merlin UMTS modems and the Option Globetrotter modems do not support SIM ID retrieval.If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may be available.Modem Power ModesThe power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power icon rather than through the Wireless WAN user interface. To adjust PC Card and CF card modems settings:• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon.• Tap on the Built-in Devices tab.If the checkbox for a modem is unchecked, power is not applied to the modem and a driver is not loaded (neither the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is checked, power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the PDA is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the iKôn PDA enters suspend mode.To enable a modem module that is built into the unit:• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon. For a modem module that is built into the iKôn PDA, the settings can be found under the Built-in Devices tab. In this case, one of the following power modes can be selected:• Disabled – No power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded.• Enabled – Off in SuspendPower is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the PDA is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the terminal enters suspend mode.• Enabled – Always OnWhen the iKôn PDA enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered indefinitely.• Enabled – Keep on for 5 min• Enabled – Keep on for 15 min• Enabled – Keep on for 30 min• Enabled – Keep on for 1 hour• Enabled – Keep on for 2 hours
Chapter 5: SettingsSMS Menu214 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User ManualWhen the PDA enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If the iKôn PDA is not turned on again during the configured time, the unit briefly wakes up from suspend mode, shuts down the modem, and enters suspend mode again. The default mode is Enabled - Keep on for 1 hour.At the cost of a slightly increased power consumption in suspend mode, the modes where the modem remains powered during suspend mode have several advantages. When the PDA wakes from suspend mode, the modem is ready immediately; modem or network initializa-tion is not required. A packet data session can thus remain active during suspend mode. In these modes, the modem is also able to wake up the PDA if the network status changes, or there is a new incoming SMS.5.36.6 SMS MenuSMS functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a SIM card, the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initialization, resulting in a no-ticeable delay before the SMS functions become available.

The recipient's phone number (to be entered in the To field) can consist of the digits 0 through 9, as well as the * and # characters, optionally preceded by one + character, indicating an international number (i.e. the country code follows immediately after the + character).By checking the Store message in Outbox field, a new message can be stored in the Outbox before being sent. If no storage space is available or the modem does not support the storage of outgoing messages, this checkbox is disabled.5.36.6.2 InboxTapping on Inbox opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for example, from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted with the

The list can be sorted by any other column by clicking on the corresponding column heading.Clicking the same column heading twice reverses the sort order. Pressing any letter or digit moves the highlight to the next message whose address begins with that letter or number.The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox message list). Pressing the Reply button opens the new message dialog as described above, except the destination phone number is already filled in. Pressing the Delete button erases the message.5.36.6.3 OutboxTapping on Outbox opens a list of sent messages. Otherwise the Outbox behaves exactly as the Inbox described above. The date and time when a message was sent is not available for GSM modems.Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Regional Settings in the Con-trol Panel. For a new date or time format to take effect, the Inbox has to be closed and re-opened.

The SMS Centre Address follows the same rules as the recipient's phone number in the New message dialog. The Message Validity Period parameter is sent to the SMS Centre with each message sent subsequently and instructs the SMS Centre on how long it should attempt to deliver the message to the recipient (the SMS Centre may impose an upper limit on the validity period regardless of the setting).The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked. In this case, when a new message arrives and the SMS storage becomes full, the oldest received message is de-leted. If any string is entered as the Message Suppression Prefix, messages beginning with that string will not be shown in either the Inbox or Outbox. In this way, messages intended for another application running on the same device can be hidden.Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus, the validity period is rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog is opened, the rounded value is shown.

A-4 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User ManualAppendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU)SCU Security Capabilities•EAP-Type & Encryption: Security settings. These settings allow you to enhance the security of data across the wireless LAN. Refer to “EAP Credentials” on page A-5 and “SCU Security Capabilities” on page A-4 for details about these settings.A.3.1 SCU Security CapabilitiesThe SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the hand-held and wireless WAN infrastructure that transmit and receive data.A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and en-cryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated suppli-cant that supports a broad range of security capabilities, including:• 802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for WPA2 and WPA.• Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.Common EAP types include:•EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication.•PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to encrypt EAP traf-fic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP:Credentials Authentication credentials for the selected EAP type.Refer to “EAP Credentials” on page A-5.User: Username or Domain/Username (up to 64 characters).Password: up to 64 characters.For PEAP: CA Cert–CA server certificate filename.NoneEncryption Type of encryption used to protect transmitted data.Off, Manual WEP, Auto WEP (generated during EAP authenti-cation), WPA-PSK, WPA-TKIP, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-TKIP, WPA2-AES, CCKM-TKIP.For Manual WEP: Up to fourstatic WEP keys.For PSK: ASCII passphrase or hex PSK.None
Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU)EAP CredentialsiKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual A-5• EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate for use against Windows Active Directory and domains.• EAP-GTC, resulting in PEAP-GTC: This is for authentication with one-time passwords (OTPs) against OTP data bases such as SecureID.•LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to off-line dictionary attacks.•EAP-FAST: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to protect against off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the use of server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.SCU EAP TypesThe following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be configured in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With each of these four types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the config, you will be prompted to enter credentials the first time the radio attempts to associate to an access point that supports 802.1X (EAP). Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:•PEAP-GTC: SCU supports static (login) passwords only.•LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended.•EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning.EAP-TLS will work with a 802.11b/g radio module when Windows Zero Config (WZC) rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With WZC, the native Windows suppli-cant instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used. A.3.2 EAP CredentialsKeep the following in mind when defining security settings:• If the credentials specified in the config are incorrect and that config is used, the authen-tication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted to enter correct credentials.• If the credentials are not specified in the config, when the radio tries to associate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.Note: PEAP and EAP-TLS require the use of Windows facilities for the configuration of digital certificates.
A-6 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User ManualAppendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU)ThirdPartyConfig• When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials, or cancel the operation.• If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and authenticate.• If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter credentials.• If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the radio will not attempt to associate with that config until you perform one of the following actions (while the config is the active config):- Cause the iKôn PDA to go through a power cycle or suspend/resume.- Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the Diags windows.- Modify the config, and tap on Commit.Alternatively, you can choose another config as the active config and then switch back to the config for which EAP authentication was cancelled.A.3.3 ThirdPartyConfigIf you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating sys-tem’s Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for the CF radio installed in the unit.Choosing this config means that WZC must be used to define the following radio and secu-rity options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption.The SCU settings for ThirdPartyConfig include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and Radio Mode. These SCU settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC settings will be applied to the radio module.
