204 | WPA or 802.1x NetworksThis section covers how to use Socket Mobile Wi-Fi Companion toconfigure and connect your Pocket PC to a WLAN running WPA or 802.1xwith PEAP or EAP-TLS authentication. Before you begin the instructionsin this chapter, be sure to install the software, as described in Chapter 2.WPA is supported by Windows Mobile 5.0 and2003 Second Edition devices as well as someWindows Mobile 2003 (original version)devices with an updated ROM from the devicemanufacturer. If your device supports WPA,WPA and WPA-PSK options will appear in the“Configure Wireless Networks” screen.For help using the software, tap Start | Help.Connection SummarySTEP 1: Prepare network information.STEP 2: Install authentication certificate(s).STEP 3: Insert Go Wi-Fi! or turn on WLAN radio.STEP 4: Find a WLAN and create a profile.STEP 5: Connect automatically to your network.
CHAPTER 4: WPA OR 802.1X 21STEP 1: Prepare Network InformationVerify Device and Network CompatibilitySome Pocket PCs can only connect to certain types of WPA and 802.1xnetworks. Check with your Pocket PC manufacturer. Your Pocket PC may onlybe able to connect to WPA and 802.1x networks that satisfy requirements suchas:•Windows Internet Information Service (IIS)•Windows Internet Authentication Service (IAS)•Windows Certification Authority (CA) with automatic approval and correctPocket PC certificate format (via MS certificate template)•Access point configured only for WPA or 802.1x (i.e., no multi-mode supportor static 128-bit WEP keys)Prepare Security SettingsIf the network is compatible, ask the administrator for the necessary securitysettings:qWireless network name, known as SSID (case sensitive)qAuthentication type, user name, password, domainqPre-Shared Key, key format (hex or ASCII)qUse of either DHCP or Static IP to assign IP addressesqAuthentication permission restrictions (e.g., domain administrators only)For a Network Information Form that you can send to your networkadministrator, go to any of the following:•Appendix C of this User’s Guide•Docs folder on the CDIf your network only allows domain administrators to authenticate, askyour network administrator to assign you this privilege.Obtain Authentication Certificate(s)qAsk the network administrator for a copy of the root certificate from aTrusted Root Authority (no intermediary authority) if required. Installationinstructions begin on the next page.EAP-TLS only: You also need to set up a cabled connection to thenetwork to install a personal certificate. Installation instructionsbegin on the next page.
22STEP 2: Install Authentication Certificate(s)If your network uses PEAP authentication, you need to install only a rootcertificate. If your network uses EAP-TLS authentication, you need toinstall both a root and a personal certificate.Install a Root Certificate1. If you have not done so already, get a root (server) certificate fromyour network administrator. The root certificate must come from aTrusted Root Authority (not an intermediary authority).2. If Socket Go Wi-Fi! is inserted into your Pocket PC, remove it.3. Use a serial/USB cable or cradle and make an active connectionbetween your Pocket PC and host PC.•If your host computer is running Windows Vista, use the WindowsMobile Device Center.•If your host computer is running Windows 2000/XP, ActiveSync 4.0 orgreater is required.4. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to access your Mobile Deviceand copy the root certificate into your Pocket PC. Remember whereyou save the certificate.5. On your Pocket PC, use File Explorer to navigate to the file location.Tap on the certificate.6. A message will ask if you want to install the certificate. Tap Yes.•If your network uses PEAP, disconnect your Pocket PC from the host PC.Soft reset the Pocket PC by pressing the reset button. Now you are readyfor Step 3, preparing the Wi-Fi hardware.
CHAPTER 4: WPA OR 802.1X 23•If your network uses EAP-TLS, you also need to install a personal(client) certificate.Install a Personal Certificate1.

The Graphs screen will appear, displaying scrolling line graphs of thesignal quality, rate, and sent and received data rates.Note: Square screen devices will only show the signal quality and sent andreceived data rates.Two numbers are reported with each graph: the current value(displayed on the left side, after the graph title) and the maximum value(displayed on the far right). For the Sent and Received graphs, themaximum value may change.3. By default, the Pocket PC will refresh the graph information everysecond. To configure the refresh rate to something different, tapConfigure at the bottom of the screen.
48View TablesYou can only view the statistical tables if the WLAN card isactively connected to a WLAN network.1. In the main screen of Wi-Fi Companion, tap Statistics | Tables.2. The Tables screen will appear, displaying a table of comprehensiveinformation about the current connection.The table is divided into five screens: IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, andInterface. Almost all of the information presented in the tables relates toperformance and error counts.Tap on a column header to sort the data.Reset: Tap to reset the contents of the Current column to zero.Refresh: Tap to refresh the data of the open table. By default, the datawill refresh every time you open a new table (e.g., when you switchbetween the different tabs).
CHAPTER 4: WI-FI COMPANION 49View Help FilesThere are two ways to access Help files for Wi-Fi Companion.•To view a list of all the Help files, make sure Wi-Fi Companion isrunning and tap Start | Help.•To view a Help file for the screen of Wi-Fi Companion that is currentlyopen, tap on the Help button .
