System Tab

The System Settings tab controls logging and the port manger timeout period.

Field

Description

 

 

Log Level

These settings control the detail of the log messages generated by the Client. Each level is cumula-

 

tive. By default, all errors, warnings, 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.

 

 

Defaults

Tap this button to return log settings to the default settings.

 

 

Disable Wireless

Use this option only as directed by technical support.

Zero Config

Selecting this option disables other wireless utilities whether the Client is running or not. If not

 

selected, other wireless utilities cannot apply their settings to the wireless card while the Client is run-

 

ning (although their status displays are usually unaffected). You will need to perform a soft reset

 

whenever this setting is changed.

 

 

Port Manager

The interval at which the client polls the ports. This is used under different circumstances, for instance

Timeout

after physical changes such as card removal or insertion have been detected. This value should not

 

be changed from the 10-second default unless so advised by technical support.

Wireless Networks Tab

Field

Description

 

 

Available Networks

Displays the networks the terminal recognizes as available to connect to. When the Client is first

 

installed, there are no entries in the Available Networks list.

 

 

Scan

Displays a list of networks broadcasting their availability.

 

You can also attach to networks who are not broadcasting.

 

 

Move to Configured

Activates after Scan has been tapped and the available networks have been retrieved. In the list

 

of networks retrieved, select the network you wish to connect to, and tap Move to Configured.

 

This selects the network.

 

 

Configured Networks

Displays the networks your terminal is connected to. This section adds and removes networks as

 

well as reviews and edits the properties of existing configured networks.

Default

When the Client is first installed, there is a Configured Network named "default" in the list. This

 

profile has Associate with any network selected in its Properties selection screen.

 

If you are going to be in a location with only one AP (or more than one AP that attaches to the

 

same network), the default profile may be sufficient for you needs, without necessitating the

 

selection of a specific network or networks.

 

If default is last in the list, it can act as a wildcard should you be out of the range of your primary

 

networks (which are listed first). Do not place default at the top or middle of the list because, if it

 

is, connection to the other list entries will never be attempted.

 

 

Up

Moves a selected network up one place in the list.

 

 

Down

Moves a selected network down one place in the list.

 

 

Note: The order of the networks in this list is the exact order that connections will be attempted. The network listed first will be attempted first and so on. Place your primary networks first.

Add

Manually adds a network to the Configured Networks list if the AP does not broadcast its SSID or

 

you are pre-configuring the client for an AP that is not currently in range.

 

 

Remove

Removes a selected network in the list.

 

 

Properties

Displays the properties of the network selected in the list. This button opens the same network

 

configuration screen as the Add button does; use it to edit network configuration properties.

Protocol Tab

The Protocol tab configures parameters that apply to all the networks the selected port connects to.

Field

Description

Protocol Settings These 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.

Display EAP

Specifies that the EAPOL notification message will be displayed to the user. An authenticator may

notifications

use such notification to inform you, for example, about a near password expiration. However, some

 

authenticators send chatty and annoying notifications that may, for the convenience of the user, be

 

suppressed. Note that all notifications are written to the event log even if they are not displayed.

 

 

Renew IP address

Initiates a DHCP request to obtain a dynamic IP address after a successful authentication, but only if

 

the client detects that the connected network (the SSID) has changed. The result is that renewal

 

should not occur upon re-authentication, but does occur at boot or when connecting to a different net-

 

work.

 

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

 

because a slow authenticator may prevent you from getting a DHCP-assigned IP address upon boot-

 

up. This option is ignored if the given adapter has a static IP address.

The Refresh button at the bottom of the screen is used to update the log file while you are reading it. If the file gets too large, old entries are automatically deleted.

If you wish to start with a blank file, exit from the Client (so the icon no longer appears at the lower right of the screen) and delete the log file (log8021x) in File Explorer; see Using Find on page 4-11.

When you restart the Client, a new log file is created.

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.

OBEX

This section explains how to use the OBEX (object exchange) application to trade business cards, contacts or files with another 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.

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.

Note: If the other device is also using the Bluetooth Connection Kit, you can set it up to receive a contact by tapping the Bluetooth icon. In the pop-up menu, tap Transfer via Bluetooth > Receive Contact or File.
