Association Modes
The association mode you select from the Assoc. Mode drop-down list determine the fields that appear
on the Network window. Different types of association modes require specific information or offer certain
configuration options.
The available association modes are:

• WPA-Personal (PSK) & WPA2-Personal (PSK) (see page 1-11)
• WPA-Enterprise (EAP) & WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) (see page 1-12)
Note: The Dolphin 7600 with Windows CE 5.0 does not support EAP methods.
None
Selecting None as the association mode means that there is no authentication or encryption in the
connection process.
Depending on the EAP method selected, the following fields (may) appear or disappear based on what
the selected protocol requires or offers for its configuration:
Field Description
Identity This is the 802.1X identity supplied to the authenticator. The identity value
can be up to 63 ASCII characters and is case-sensitive.
Password This is the password used for MD5-Challenge or EAP authentication. It may
contain up to 63 ASCII characters and is case-sensitive. Asterisks appear
instead of characters for enhanced security.

Field Description
Anonymous IDEnter the anonymous ID. This ID creates a tunnel through which the real ID
(as entered in the Identity field) can pass. For additional security, make this
ID different than the one entered in the Identity field.
File Store
Cert Store
Click one of these radio buttons to select the location of the certificate(s).
For example, if the certificate is stored in IPSM or an SD card as a file, then
use File Store. Or, if the certificate is installed on the device in the Windows
Certificate Store, then choose Cert Store.

Working in Ad Hoc Mode
Introduction
Most installed wireless LANs today use "infrastructure" mode that requires the use of one or more
access points. With this configuration, the access point provides an interface to a distribution system
(e.g., Ethernet), which enables wireless users to utilize corporate servers and Internet applications.
As an optional feature, however, the 802.11 standard specifies "ad hoc" mode, which allows the radio
network interface card (NIC) to operate in what the standard refers to as an independent basic service
set (IBSS) network configuration. With an IBSS, there are no access points. User devices communicate
directly with each other in a peer-to-peer manner.
Even though it is a peer-to-peer connection, there must still be a host and a client; a host to initiate an ad
hoc connection and a client to join an existing ad hoc connection.
Requirements
Both peer devices must have static IPs with the same Default Gateway. Therefore, you must set up a
static IP on the terminal (see Static IP on page 1-15).
Initiating an Ad Hoc Connection
You need to set up an ad hoc profile in the SWC.
1.Tap the icon in the command bar .
2.Tap the Config tab and tap New.
3.On the Network window, select Ad Hoc or Ad Hoc (WEP) as the Assoc Mode.
4.In the SSID field, enter the network name to use for the connection.
5.Tap OK.
6.On the Config tab, select the name of the profile (the SSID name) and tap Activate to launch the
connection.

Setting up the WLAN SWC with DeviceConfig
Overview
You can use the DeviceConfig Power Tool to configure the SWC. Simply configure the DeviceConfig.exm
file with the SWC’s settings, save it to the
When you enable the WiFi radio, the SWC will connect according to the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file.
Configuring the DeviceConfig.exm File
On your workstation or your terminal, open the DeviceConfig.exm file in EZConfig. The following instructions show the workstation method.
1.Click Start > All Programs > Honeywell > Dolphin Power Tools and Demos > EZConfig Editor.
\IPSM\Autoinstall folder and cold boot the Dolphin terminal.
2.Tap the Open icon and select the DeviceConfig.exm file.
3.Right-click and select Enable on the following sections: Radio Manager > WiFi > Security >
Supplicant > Profile 1.
The WiFi section is disabled by default. Enabling this section turns the 802.x radio on at startup.
4.Select the Profile 1 section.
3 - 1
5.The keys in the Profile 1 section match the field on the Network Window (see page 1-8). Double-tap
on each key value you want to configure and select the desired configurations from the drop-down
list.
6.The items in each drop-down list are the same as the items in the drop-down lists on the Network
Window (see page 1-8).
7.Select or enter all the items required by your configuration.
a. For Tunnel PAC, Machine PAC, and CA and Client Certificate keys, enter the exact path on the
terminal where the PAC and certificate files are located.
The PAC and certificate files must be saved on the terminal first!
b. If your configuration uses WEP, select the key type from the drop-down list.
Key validation does not occur when you enter the key in WEP Key1–4 but does occur when the
DeviceConfig.exm file is activated on the terminal.
8.Save the DeviceConfig.exm file on your workstation for future reference and close.
Setting up the Terminal
1.Move the configured DeviceConfig.exm file to the \IPSM\Autoinstall folder on the Dolphin terminal.
2.Cold boot the terminal.
3.The SWC should start connecting using the DeviceConfig settings during Autoinstall.
4.After Autoinstall in complete, tap the SWC icon on the Today screen .
5.Verify that the configuration is connected and correct.
Enabling a Profile
You can have multiple profiles in the SWC section; however, one needs to be selected as the default configuration so that the configuration connects when the terminal boots up.
To select a default configuration, enter the name of the profile as the Value in the Active Profile key of
