The CB3000 is now ready to transmit and receive with a connected device in the open without security.
However, configuring a basic security scheme is recommended (for the purposes of this initial basic
configuration, WEP 128) to ensure initial communication between the CB3000 and its connected device are
secure.

Configuring CB3000 Security

NOTE: For testing basic connectivity as described in this guide, there is no reason to enable Secure

802.1x authentication (an advanced authentication scheme). For details on configuring Secure 802.1x
authentication, refer to the CB3000 User Guide available on the Support site (www.zebra.com/support

Configuring CB3000 Basic Encryption

Encryption applies a specific algorithm to data to alter its appearance and prevent unauthorized decoding.
Decryption applies the algorithm in reverse to restore the data to its original form. Sender and receiver
employ the same encryption/decryption method.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard,

802.11b. WEP is designed to provide a WLAN with a level of security and privacy comparable to that of a
wired LAN. WEP could be all that a small-business user needs for the simple encryption of wireless data.

For the basic configuration and device connection described in this guide, WEP 128 will be configured for the
CB3000. WEP 128 ensures initial communications with the CB3000 are secure.

To configure WEP 128 for the CB3000:

).

1. Select Settings -> Wireless Settings - > Security

2. Select WEP From the Security Mode drop-down menu.

from the menu tree.

3. Use the Authentication Type drop-down menu to specify whether a shared key is implemented
between the CB3000 and its associated device or no key is used (Open System).

If a shared key is used, both the CB3000 and its connected device are required to use the same key (as
selected from 1 to 4) to interoperate. A shared key increases the level of security within the network as
opposed sending information without one (Open System).

4. Use the Default Transmit Key checkboxes to specify which key is used to transmit WEP algorithm
information between the CB3000 and its associated device.

2-14 CB3000 Client Bridge Installation Guide

NOTE: The CB3000 and its associated device are required to use the same key and key length to inter­operate.

5. Select 128-bits from the WEP Encryption drop down menu.

For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length.

6. Use the Passphrase algorithm option to specify whether the optional passphrase is a Symbol Passkey
or a Generic Passphrase. Pass keys and pass phrases provides an easy to remember way of entering WEP
key data without having to manually enter the keys each time WEP keys are created.

Select Symbol PassKey to use a proprietary algorithm the CB3000 uses exclusively with other clients.
The CB3000 decodes the PassKey into a set of 4 WEP keys using MD5 algorithms. The WEP keys display
as alphanumeric text in the key fields until saved or the user navigates away from the WEP screen.

Select Generic Passphrase if the CB3000 is sharing WEP keys with another vendor’s clients. The
CB3000 decodes the passphrase into a set of 4 WEP keys, with the length depending on the 64 or 128 bit
key length. The WEP keys display as alphanumeric text in the key fields until saved or the user navigates
away from the WEP screen.

7. Specify a 4 to 32 character Passphrase and click the Generate Keys button.

The passphase is helpful for entering WEP keys without having the remember all of the characters
comprising the key. The passphase can be any alphanumeric string. The CB3000, other proprietary routers
and devices use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. This
conversion is not required for a wireless connection. Wireless devices without adapters need to use WEP
keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers.

8. Click Apply to save the settings defined for WEP 128.

9. Click Cancel to revert the screen back to the last saved configuration.

With a basic CB3000 device configuration set and WEP 128 defined for the CB3000 and its associated
network device, the CB3000 is now ready to test for device connectivity.

CB3000 Troubleshooting

The following troubleshooting tips are recommended before contacting Support:

Problem Corrective Action

Power LED is Off or Orange Ensure only the supplied power adapter is used and is plugged into a power supply

appropriately rated for the country of operation.

Unplug the power adapter and re-insert it back into the power outlet. If the problem
persists, a hardware problem likely exists. Contact Support.

LAN LED is Off Verify the cable connection is secure between the CB3000 and the PC’s LAN port.

Ensure the computer network card is functioning properly.

Configuration updates lost or
device hangs after reboot.

CB3000 user interface hangs
and cannot be navigated

Discovery Tool Scan function
does not display the CB3000
after changing the IP address
(using the Discovery Tool).

Wait at least 10 seconds after changing and saving the configuration before
rebooting. If the CB3000 is hung, reset the device and implement your changes
again.

Press the Reset button on back of CB3000 unit for less than 10 seconds to reset the
device. Press the Reset button for 10 seconds (or more) to restore the CB3000 to its
factory default configuration.

Ensure the Ethernet port is set to 100Mb/full duplex on the PC/laptop. A valid IP
address is also needed on the Ethernet port in order for the Discovery Tool Scan
function to work properly. Ensure the computer’s VPN client is disabled before
performing a scan or the scan will not function properly.
