The Wireless Printing applet is available from Start > Settings > System. The applet separates the task of wireless printing setup from other Bluetooth management tasks.

CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual 41

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe

The Wireless Printing applet uses the concept of a “current wireless printer.” The CK32 I-Safe connects to the current wireless printer when your application opens the wireless printing COM port on the CK32 I-Safe. If there is no current wireless printer selected on your CK32 I-Safe, there is no wireless printing COM port registered on your CK32 I-Safe. You must select a current wireless printer on your CK32 I-Safe, as described in the next section.

The Wireless Printing applet performs these tasks on the CK32 ISafe:

• Helps you select the current wireless printer

• Stores the current wireless printer in the registry

• Registers/deregisters the wireless printing COM port

• Stores the wireless printing COM port in the registry as the WPort

Specifically, the current wireless printer is registered and deregistered on Bluetooth stack load/unload. If you select a different current wireless printer, the existing wireless printing COM port is deregistered and the new one is registered instead. The Wireless Printing applet uses the Bluetooth COM Port Control to handle COM port registration/deregistration.

Selecting the Current Wireless Printer on the CK32 I-Safe

By default, there is no current wireless printer selected on the CK32 I-Safe.

There are three ways to select the current wireless printer:

Configuring Security on the CK32 I-Safe

The CK32 I-Safe provides three types of security for your wireless network:

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

• 802.1x

•WEP

This section explains how to configure security on your wireless CK32 I-Safe. If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling

Security” on page 79. Intermec always recommends that you

implement security.

You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your security solution. For details, see “Choosing Between Funk

and Microsoft Security” on page 60.

56 CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual

If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x security, this section assumes that your authentication server and authenticators are properly configured.

Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft’s Internet Authentication Service.

Understanding the Wireless Network

Your wireless radio adapter (network interface card) connects to wireless networks of two types: infrastructure and ad-hoc networks.

• Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network and the internet. The CK32 I-Safe establishes a wireless connection to an access point, which links you to the rest of the network. When you connect to a network using an access point, you are using the 802.11 b/g infrastructure mode.

• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more clients.

Each wireless network is assigned a name or SSID (Service Set Identifier) to allow multiple networks to exist in the same area without infringing on each other.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe

Intermec recommends using security with wireless networks to prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure the privacy of transmitted data. Authentication by both the network and the user are required elements for secure networks. Use the following table to understand some of the wireless network terminology.

Using WPA Security

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced, interoperable Wi-Fi security that addresses many of the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Instead of WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for its data encryption method.

Currently, WPA satisfies some of the requirements in the IEEE

802.11i draft standard. When the standard is finalized, WPA will

maintain forward compatibility.

CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual 57

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe

WPA runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode:

• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using

802.1x and an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). That is, an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server) must authenticate each device before the device can communicate with the wireless network.

• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a shared key between the authenticator and the CV30. WPAPSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an authentication server.

To use WPA security, you need:

• an authentication server (Enterprise mode only).

• an access point with an 802.11 b/g radio that supports WPA.

• a CK32 I-Safe with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option.

The CK32 I-Safe also supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) if you are using Funk security. WPA2 uses an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption.

WPA2 runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode:

• For WPA2-802.1x mode, WPA2 requires authentication in two phases; the first is an open system authentication and the second uses 802.1x and an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication method.

• In PSK mode, WPA2 provides user authentication using a shared key between the authenticator and the CK32 I-Safe. WPA2-PSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an authentication server.

Using Static WEP Security

The CK32 I-Safe uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol to add security to your wireless network based on the

802.11 standard.

58 CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual

To use WEP security, you need:

• a CV30 with an 802.11b/g radio.

• an access point with an 802.11b/g radio.

Using 802.1x Security

802.1x security provides centralized user authentication using an authentication server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These components communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP key management.

To use 802.1x security, you need:

• an access point with an 802.11b/g radio.

• a CK32 I-Safe with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA

• an authentication server.

Using LEAP Security

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe

security option.

Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), also known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/passwordbased authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through an Ethernet hub or wireless network access point until it successfully authenticates itself.

The station must identify itself and prove that it is an authorized user before it is actually allowed to use the LAN. LEAP also delivers a session key to the authenticated station, so that future frames can be encrypted with a key that is different than keys used by other sessions.

To use LEAP security, you need:

• a RADIUS server.

• Cisco access points.

LEAP security is not supported with Microsoft security.

networks, the CK32 I-Safe detects any new networks and provides you with the opportunity to configure them.

Loading a Certificate

If you choose to use transport layer security (TLS) with WPA or

802.1x security, you need to have a unique client certificate on the CK32 I-Safe and a trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. You can use a third-party CA to issue unique client certificates and a root certificate.

There are three ways to load certificates on the CK32 I-Safe:

• If you are using Active Directory to issue certificates, you can use the Enroll Certificates application to load the certificates.

• If you are using another third-party CA, you can use the Import Certificates application to load the certificates.

• If you have multiple certificates to install, you can use the Import Root Certificates and Import User Certificates functions.

Note: For certificates to be valid, the CK32 I-Safe must be set to the correct date and time. After cold booting the CK32 I-Safe, you may need to correct the date and time.

To load certificates if you are using Active Directory

1 Configure the network and radio settings for the CK32 I-Safe

to communicate with your certificate authority or establish an ActiveSync connection with the CA.

Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications

Developing a Web-Based Application

You can develop web-based data collection applications for use on the CK32 I-Safe. For help, see any HTML source book. The CK32 I-Safe contains Internet Explorer Mobile for you to use. Microsoft Internet Explorer Mobile is available from the Start menu and provides all of the common elements you expect to find.

Converting a Trakker Antares Application for the CK32 I-Safe

If you have an existing Trakker Antares application that you would like to run on the CK32 I-Safe, you can use the Antares Migration Resource Kit to convert it. The Antares Migration Resource Kit is a set of libraries and tools that you use to convert your existing Trakker Antares C applications into C++ applications for use on the CK32 I-Safe.

The CK32 I-Safe does not support all Trakker Antares functions. You may need to rewrite parts of your application when converting it for use on the CK32 I-Safe. See the resource kit for a list of functions that are not supported.

You need these hardware and software components to use the resource kit:

• PC with at least 100 MB of free disk space running Microsoft Windows 2000/XP

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 (or later)

• Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.2 or later

CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer Users Manual 83

Chapter 4— Developing and Installing Applications

Installing Applications on the CK32 I-Safe

There are several ways you can install applications on the CK32 I-Safe:

• You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.

• If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver the .exe file.

• You can copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.

Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The CK32 I-Safe uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place your application in any of these memory locations on the CK32 I-Safe:

• Applications can be installed into the Object Store or the Flash File Store. Both locations are virtual partitions on the embedded storage card in the system. The Object Store will be erased during a ‘clean’ boot, but the Flash File store will persist. Neither location will be erased during a normal reset of the system. The registry always persists to the Object Store region for normal resets. If you need files and/or registry entries to persist through a ‘clean’ boot, it is suggested that you use a cab file installed from the Flash File Store area. For more information on ‘clean’ boots, see “Resetting Your Computer” on page 110.

There are several ways you can install files and applications on the CK32 I-Safe:

• SmartSystems server

•ActiveSync

• Wavelink Avalanche

The following sections explain how to use each one of these processes to install your application on the CK32 I-Safe.
