The System Settings tab controls logging and the port manger timeout period.
FieldDescription
Log LevelThese settings control the detail of the log messages generated by the Client. Each level is cumula-
tive. By default, all errors, w arnings, and information events are logged. Each entry records a severity
code (of one [debug message] to four [error] asterisks), a time stamp, and a message.
• Errors - only the most severe conditions are logged.
• Warnings - less severe conditions are logged.
• Information - all errors, warnings, and information events are logged. This is the default setting.
• Debugging - creates a log message each time the Client detects or reacts to an event. Be advised
that log entries fill memory quickly if the Debugging level is chosen. Do not use the Debugging
option for a significant length of time because most internal operations generate messages.

Protocol Tab
The Protocol tab configures parameters that apply to all the networks the selected port connects to.
FieldDescription
Protocol SettingsThese are the timer intervals and retry settings defined in the 802.1X standard. They determine how
long the supplicant state machine will wait in a given state. These parameters shouldn’t be modified
without an understanding of the supplicant state machine. For more information about the supplicant
state machine, obtain its 802.1X protocol specification.
The parameters are:
• Authentication Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the authenticating or acquired
state without receiving a response from the AP or switch.
• Held Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the held state after failing authentication.
• Start Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the connecting state before restarting when
there is no response.
• Number of Start Attempts - The number of times the Client restarts before giving up. At that point,
the Client then defaults to the authenticated state, but there will be no network connectivity because
the protocol exchange was never completed.

If you have a slow authenticator, you may wish to enable this option when configuring the service

Installing Certificates with CertAdd
Certificate Requirements
During configuration, you may have specified one or two certificates to use during the authentication process. The specified
identity should match the Issued to field in the certificate and should be registered on the authentication server (i.e., RADIUS
server) that is used by the authenticator. In addition, your certificate must be valid on the authentication server. This requirement
depends on the authentication server and generally means that the authentication server must know the issuer of your certificate
as a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
If the selected certificate does require a password or pass phrase to decode the private key, enter this value in the “Certificate
Pass Phrase” field. This value will be encrypted when the configuration is saved. However, on some systems, there may not be
a certificate. If that is the case, you can use the section below as a primer on OS X certificate management.
About CertAdd
CertAdd is a standalone utility that allows certificates to be selected and installed on a Windows Mobile device.
Installing Certificates
Client or CA certificates can be imported from *.cer (same as *.der), *.p7b, or *.pfx files.
1. Download the certificate file to the My Documents folder. The location isn’t critical, although you may want to create a
standard folder for consistency.
2. Go to Start > Programs > Meetinghouse Certificate Installer. All valid certificate file types located in the My Documents
folder appear in the list.
3. Tap and hold on a certificate in the list. A pop-up appears asking if you want to install the certificate.

Perform a soft reset.
• The license is not valid (If you have entered a time-limited license, is
your clock on the device correct?).
• Restart the client - on the main screen tap Client > Restart.
• Perform a soft reset.
• If the radio is turned off or the radio card is not present, this will
sometimes cause the port name to not appear.
• If the radio driver is very old and does not support NDIS 5.1
commands, the Client may not be able to detect it.
Enable the radio; Start > Settings > Connections tab > Radio Man-ager.
The default network profile instructs the client to attach to the first
available AP. On the Wireless Networks window, select a network, move

the Tunneled authentication section.
• Make sure that the desired SSID is listed as the Network Name, not
the Network Profile (which is a screen label).
• Verify that Do Active Scan is selected on the Profile Info tab. If not
selected, the Client will not attempt to find the AP.
On the main screen, tap and hold on your AP, tap Configure on the

Bluetooth device that supports OBEX.
Bluetooth OBEX application supports five operations:
• Exchange Business Cards
• Send a Contact
• Send a File
• Browse Remote Device
• Receive Contact or File
• Enable File Sharing
The first four operations - exchange business cards, send a contact, send a file, and browse remote device - are client-oriented.
They involve initiating an object exchange.
The last two operations - receive contact or file and enable file sharing - are server-oriented. They involve accepting objects in
an exchange initiated by another Bluetooth device.
Exchange Business Cards
1. Make sure both Bluetooth devices have a business card assigned to them.
If each device does not have a business card assigned to it, you cannot exchange business cards.
To assign a business card to your device, do the following:
• Tap on the Bluetooth icon. In the pop-up menu, tap Advanced Features > My Bluetooth Device.
• Tap on the Object Sharing tab. Under My business card, tap Assign
• In the next screen, select your business card and tap OK. If your business card is not listed, tap Contacts to create one.
When you return to the Object Sharing screen, tap OK.
2. Make sure the other Bluetooth device is set up to receive a contact. The device must support the OBEX Object Push profile.
