CB3000 Client Bridge User Guide
3-14
The shared key can be any alphanumeric string. The CB3000, other proprietary routers and Symbol
devices use the shared key to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. Wireless
devices without Symbol adapters need to use a shared key manually configured as hexadecimal
numbers.
WPA2 Enterprise Only Parameters follow:
• WPA2 EAP Type – Specifies the WPA1 EAP type. These types are described and compared in
detail in About WPA2 (CCMP) Security. Possible options are:
• TLS – Transport Level Security is an EAP type used in certificate-based security environments.
If using smart cards for remote access authentication, TLS authentication is the method to use.
• TTLS – Tunneled TLS. Requires certificate-based RADIUS server authentication, but supports
an extensible set of user authentication methods.
• PEAP – Windows XP SP1 and Microsoft 802.1X Authentication Client support Protected EAP
(PEAP).
• WPA2 User ID – For all EAP types.
• WPA2 TLS Key – For TLS only. Drag a user certificate into the WPA2 root certificate field to upload.
• WPA2 Key Password – For TLS only. Enter a key password.
• WPA2 User Certificate – For TLS only. Drag a user certificate into the WPA2 user certificate field
to upload.
• WPA2 Root Certificate – For TLS and PEAP only. Drag a root certificate into the WPA2 root
certificate field to upload.
• WPA2 Password – For TLS and PEAP only.

3.1.3.5 Configuring Secure 802.1x Security Settings
The Secure 802.1x security option provides the CB3000 and its associated clients an additional measure of
security for data transmitted over the wireless network. Secure 802.1x uses (EAP) as an authentication
mechanism between devices that is achieved through the exchange and verification of certificates.
A client should not be able to access the network if not authenticated. Refer to the system administrator for
information on configuring a server for Secure 8021.x support. For information on configuring 802.1x, see
Configuring Secure 802.1x Security Settings.
Note This authentication scheme will not work properly unless the Time Settings
screen is set to the correct time.
For more details on encryption types, pros and cons of different encryption types and required configuration
parameters, see the Wi-Fi Alliance Web site at: http://www.wifialliance.org/OpenSection/index.asp
To configure Secure 802.1x security settings:
1. Select Settings > Wireless Settings > Security from the CB3000 menu tree.
2. Select Secure 802.1x from the Security Mode drop-down field.
