between the CB3000 and its connected device are protected.
IP Address The IP Address refers to the address other devices uses to address
the CB3000.
Subnet Mask A subnet mask accompanies an IP address and the two values work
together. Applying the subnet mask to an IP address splits the
address into two parts, an "extended network address" and a host
address.
Gateway IP Address The Gateway IP Address is the address of the device providing the
connection to the network.
Spanning Tree
Protocol
Select the Spanning Tree Protocol checkbox to enable a
technique that detects loops in a network and logically blocks
redundant paths, thus ensuring only one route exists between any
two LANs. Default is enabled.

Configuring CB3000 Security
Configuring CB3000 Basic Encryption
Encryption applies a specific algorithm to data in order to alter its appearance and prevent
unauthorized decoding. Decryption applies the algorithm in reverse to restore the data to its original
form. Sender and receiver employ the same encryption/decryption method.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)
standard, 802.11b. WEP is designed to provide a WLAN with a level of security and privacy
comparable to that of a wired LAN. WEP could be all that a small-business user needs for the simple
encryption of wireless data.
For the basic configuration and device connection described in this guide, WEP 128 encryption will
be configured for the CB3000. WEP 128 ensures initial communications with the CB3000 are secure.
To configure WEP 128 for the CB3000:
1. Select Settings -> Wireless Settings - > Security from the CB3000 menu tree.
2. Select WEP From the Security Mode drop-down menu.
NOTE For testing basic connectivity as described in this guide, there is no reason
to enable Secure 802.1x authentication (an advanced authentication
scheme). For details on configuring Secure 802.1x authentication, refer to
the CB3000 User Guide available on the CB3000 product CDROM or go to
the Symbol Web site (http://www.symbol.com/services/downloads) and
download the guide.
CB3000 Client Bridge Install Guide
17
3. Use the Authentication Type drop-down menu to specify whether a shared key is
implemented between the CB3000 and its associated device or no key is used
(Open System).
If a shared key is used, both the CB3000 and its associated device are required to use the
same single key (as selected from 1 to 4) to interoperate. A shared key increases the level
of security within the network as opposed sending information without one (Open System).
4. Use the Default Transmit Key checkboxes to specify which one key is used to transmit
WEP algorithm information between the CB3000 and its associated device.
5. Select 128-bits from the WEP Encryption drop down menu.
NOTE The CB3000 and its networked device are required to use the same key
and key length to interoperate.
18
For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length.
Use the Passphrase algorithm checkboxes to specify whether the optional passphrase is
a Symbol Passkey or a Generic Passphrase. PassKeys and pass phrases provides an easy to
remember way of entering WEP key data without having to manually enter the keys each
time WEP keys are created.
Select Symbol PassKey to use a Symbol proprietary algorithm the CB3000 uses exclusively
with other Symbol clients. The CB3000 decodes the PassKey into a set of 4 WEP keys using
MD5 algorithms. The WEP keys display as alphanumeric text in the key fields until saved or
the user navigates away from the WEP screen.
Select Generic Passphrase if the CB3000 is sharing WEP keys with non-Symbol clients.
The CB3000 decodes the passphrase into a set of 4 WEP keys, with the length depending on
the 64 or 128 bit key length. The WEP keys display as alphanumeric text in the key fields
until saved or the user navigates away from the WEP screen.
6. Optionally, specify a 4 to 32 character Passphrase and click the Generate Keys button.
The passphase is helpful for entering WEP keys without having the remember all of the
characters comprising the key. The passphase can be any alphanumeric string. The CB3000,
other proprietary routers and Symbol devices use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to
the same hexadecimal number. This conversion is not required for a wireless connection.
Wireless devices without Symbol adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as
hexadecimal numbers.
7. Click Apply to save the settings defined for WEP 128.
8. Click Cancel to revert the screen back to the last saved configuration.
With a basic CB3000 device configuration set and WEP 128 defined for the CB3000 and its
associated network device, the CB3000 is now ready to test for device connectivity.
CB3000 Client Bridge Install Guide
19
Testing Device Connectivity
The CB3000 Web interface has a Troubleshooting screen with an ICMP Ping Test function. For the
purposes of completing the CB3000 basic configuration and connection verification, this screen will
be used to ping the CB3000’s associated device.
To test CB3000 device connectivity:
1. Select Tools -> Troubleshooting from the CB3000 menu tree.
2. The CB3000 can verify its link with an associated access point by sending ping packets to
the device. To conduct a ping test:
a. Enter the IP address of the target device.
b. Specify the length of each data packet transmitted to the target device during the ping
test. This value is defined in bytes (The default is 32 bytes).
c. Specify the number of ping packets to transmit (Symbol recommends 4 packets).
20
d. Click the ICMP Ping Test button. Results of the ping test displays on the Status line. If
the Status line displays Success, the CB3000 can interoperate with its associated
access point. If not connected, go to CB3000 Troubleshooting on page -20.
