CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED

Introduction

Each Zebra mobile computer has a wireless local area network (WLAN) interface. This WLAN interface is
managed either by Fusion Wireless Companion or Windows Wireless Zero Config (WZC) application. The software
allows the user to configure and control the wireless radio in order to securely connect to the WLAN infrastructure.
This guide enables the user to configure the mobile computer so that it can connect properly to a WLAN. This
guide describes how to use the Fusion software.

NOTE WZC mode only supports a limited number of Fusion applications.

Configuring the Infrastructure

WLANs allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly. Before using the mobile computer on a WLAN, the
facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The
infrastructure and the mobile computer must both be properly configured to enable this communication.

Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius
servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.

Once you have set up the infrastructure to enforce your chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Fusion Wireless
Companion or WZC software to configure the mobile computer to match.

Fusion Overview

The Fusion Wireless Companion software contains applications that create wireless profiles. Each profile specifies
the security parameters to use for connecting to a particular WLAN as identified by its Extended Service Set
Identifier (ESSID). The Fusion Wireless Companion software also allows the user to control which profile out of a
set of profiles is used to connect. Other Fusion Wireless Companion applications allow the user to monitor the
status of the current WLAN connection and to invoke diagnostic tools for troubleshooting.

The Fusion Wireless Companion applications are accessed differently depending upon the operating system
configuration, Windows Mobile 6.5, by default, supports a Windows Home screen as well as the classic Mobile 6.1
Today screen. Devices may also contain an Enterprise Home screen that replaces the Windows Home screen.

Figure 2-2

Find WLANs Menu.

NOTE The number of WLANs (ESSIDs) that can be detected by the wireless radio at one time is limited. If you have

a large number of WLANs active in your area, the Find WLANs window may not display them all.

The scan triggered by Find WLAN is at a lower priority compared to a roam scan. If the device is attempting to
roam then a Find WLAN done at the exact same time may result in showing only the currently connected
access point (AP). Redoing the Find WLAN command shows the proper full results.

The number of WLANs (ESSIDs) found is also limited by the channel limiting options like Channel Mask, Band
Selection and Zebra Smart Scan. Only the intersection set of channels is scanned.

If you do not see your Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID), try a Refresh. If your ESSID is still not
displayed and you wish to create or connect to a profile for it, you will need to use the Manage Profiles
application.

Select Connect to to view the list of existing profiles matching the select ESSID. The mobile computer connects to
the given profile upon selection.

Select Create profile to create a new WLAN profile for that network. This starts the Profile Editor Wizard which
allows you to configure the security parameters that your mobile computer will use for the selected network. After
editing the profile, the mobile computer automatically connects to this new profile.

NOTE A warning displays when connecting to an unsecure (or open) network via the Find WLANs application. For

open WLANs, the profile’s settings will take on automatically generated default values. If you wish to manually
configure the settings, uncheck the Use Default configuration checkbox.

Profile Roaming

Profile Roaming attempts to automatically select and connect to a profile from the profile list displayed in the
Manage Profiles window. The Profile Roaming algorithm uses the order of the profiles in the profile list to
determine the order in which profiles are tried.

NOTE Profile Roaming must be enabled in the Options application. See Chapter 7, Options.

The Profile Roaming algorithm makes two passes through the profile list. The first pass attempts to connect only to
profiles that specify ESSIDs that can be detected by the wireless radio. If no connection is made, a second pass
through the list is performed attempting to connect to those profiles that were not tried in the first pass. The Profile

Manage Profiles Application 3 - 5

Roaming algorithm will only attempt to connect to a profile for which it is not necessary to prompt the user for
credentials (i.e., username and password). This includes:

•

A profile that does not require credentials.

•

A device profile. A device profile is one in which the username and password have been pre-entered directly
into the profile. (A profile with the username specified but with the password field left empty is still considered
a device profile since an empty password is considered a valid password.)

•

A user profile with cached credentials. A user profile is one in which the username and password have not
been pre-entered into the profile. A profile has cached credentials if the user has entered credentials for the
profile via the Network Login dialog. When a profile has cached credentials, the user is said to have logged
on to the profile. See Chapter 10, Log On/Off Application for more information.

The Profile Roaming algorithm will not attempt to connect to:

•

A profile that specifies Extensible Authentication Protocol - Generic Token Card (EAP-GTC) for its Tunnel
Authentication Type and Token (as opposed to Static) for its password type. See Tunneled Authentication on

page 4-6 for more information.

•

A user profile without cached credentials.

•

A user profile that has cached credentials but that also has the At-Connect option enabled. See Credential

Cache Options on page 4-14 for more information.

•

A device profile that has cached credentials because the user has logged on to it (called a user-override
profile), but that also has the At-Connect option enabled.

•

A profile that has been disabled.

•

A profile that has been cancelled.

•

A profile whose Country setting does not allow the profile to be used in the country in which the mobile
computer is being operated. See Operating Mode on page 4-2 for more information.

The Profile Roaming algorithm is invoked whenever the mobile computer becomes disconnected (disassociated)
from the current WLAN.

DescriptionPEAP TTLS EAP-FAST

CHAP X Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is one of

the two main authentication protocols used to verify the user
name and password for Point-to-Point (PPP) Internet
connections. CHAP is more secure than Password
Authentication Protocol (PAP) because it performs a three way
handshake during the initial link establishment between the
home and remote machines. It can also repeat the
authentication anytime after the link is established.

EAP-GTC X X Extensible Authentication Protocol-Generic Token Card

(EAP-GTC) is used during phase 2 of the authentication
process. This method uses a time-synchronized hardware or
software token generator, often in conjunction with a user PIN,
to create a one-time password.

MD5 X Message Digest-5 (MD5) is an authentication algorithm

developed by RSA. MD5 generates a 128-bit message digest
using a 128-bit key, IPSec truncates the message digest to 96
bits.

MS CHAP X Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS

CHAP) is an implementation of the CHAP protocol that
Microsoft created to authenticate remote Windows
workstations. MS CHAP is identical to CHAP, except that MS
CHAP is based on the encryption and hashing algorithms used
by Windows networks, and the MS CHAP response to a
challenge is in a format optimized for compatibility with
Windows operating systems.

as secure as CHAP, since it works only to establish the initial
link. PAP is also more vulnerable to attack because it sends
authentication packets throughout the network. Nevertheless,
PAP is more commonly used than CHAP to log in to a remote
host like an Internet service provider.

TLS X X EAP-TLS is used during phase 2 of the authentication process.

Confirmation Dialog Box

User Name

The user name and password can optionally be entered when the profile is created (called a device profile) or they
can be left empty (called a user profile). If the username and password are not entered in the profile, then when
attempting to connect, the user will be prompted to supply them. The entered information (credentials) will be
saved (cached) for future reconnections.

Whether a profile is a device or a user profile affects how the profile is treated during a Profile Roaming operation
(see Profile Roaming on page 3-4). Profiles are excluded from profile roaming consideration if they require user
entry of credential information.

If the profile uses an authentication tunnel type of EAP-GTC and Token is selected (see Encryption on page 4-16),
then you can control certain behavior by whether you choose to enter a value in the Enter User Name field. If you
enter a value in the Enter User Name field, then whenever the Fusion software prompts you to enter credentials,
the username field in the interactive credential dialog will be initialized with the value that you entered when you
created the profile. If you enter a different value in the username field of the interactive credential dialog, it is
cached and used to initialize the username field the next time the interactive credential dialog is shown for that
profile. If you do not enter a value in the Enter User Name field when you create an EAP-GTC token profile, then
the username field in the interactive credential dialog is initialized to blank. After you enter a username in the
interactive credential dialog, it is cached as usual, but it is not be used to initialize the username field the next time
the interactive credential dialog is shown for that profile; the username field will still be initialized to blank. In
summary, the user can control whether the username field in the interactive credential dialog box is initialized,
either with the last-interactively-entered username for that profile or with the username entered into the profile, by
whether any value is entered in the Enter User Name field during profile entry.

If an authentication tunnel type of EAP-GTC is used, a Password dialog box with additional radio buttons

Figure 4-19

Two radio buttons are added to allow the user to choose a token or static password.

Choose the Token radio button when using the profile in conjunction with a token generator (hardware or
software). The system administrator should supply the user with a token generator for use with EAP-GTC token
profiles. A token generator generates a numeric value that is entered into the password field at connect time,
usually along with a PIN. Tokens have a very limited lifetime and usually expire within 60 seconds. The token
generator is time-synchronized with a token server. When authenticating, the RADIUS server asks the token server
to verify the token entered. The token server knows what value the token generator generates given the time of
day and the username. Since tokens expire, EAP-GTC token profiles are treated differently. A prompt appears at
the appropriate time to enter a token, even if a token has previously been entered. Tokens are never cached in the
credential cache (though the username that is entered when the token is entered is cached).

Password Dialog Box

EAP-GTC Password Dialog Box

If the Static radio button is selected, the Enter Password field is enabled and a password can be entered if

2. Ta p Next. The Prompt for Login at dialog box displays. See Credential Cache Options on page 4-14.

Advanced Identity

Use the Advanced ID dialog box to enter the 802.1x identity to supply to the authenticator. This value can be 63
characters long and is case sensitive. For TTLS,EAP-FAST, and PEAP authentication types, it is recommended
entering the identity anonymous (rather than a true identity). You can optionally enter a fully qualified domain (e.g.,
mydomain.local) and it will automatically be combined with the 802.1x identity (i.e., [e-mail])
before being sent to the RADIUS server.

Entering an 802.11x Identity is required before proceeding.

Credential Cache Options

When connecting to a password-based user profile for the first time, Fusion Wireless Companion will prompt the
user to enter credentials. After the credentials have been entered, they are cached. These cached credentials will
normally be used, without prompting the user, whenever Fusion Wireless Companion reconnects to that profile,
The credential caching options allow the administrator to specify additional circumstances under which Fusion
Wireless Companion will prompt the user to re-enter the credentials even though it already has cached credentials
for the given profile. Requiring the user to re-enter credentials can help ensure that only an authorized user is
using the device.

The credential caching options are at connection, on each resume, or at a specified time.

Figure 4-21

If the mobile computer does not have the credentials, a username and password must be entered. If the mobile
computer has the credentials (previous entered via a login dialog box), it uses these credentials unless the caching
options require the mobile computer to prompt for new credentials. If credentials were entered via the profile, the
mobile computer does not prompt for new credentials (except for profiles where the credentials expire, such as
EAP-GTC token profiles). Table 4-7 lists the caching options.

Prompt for Login at Dialog Box

NOTE Credential caching options only apply to user profiles and to user-override profiles (a device profile that a

user has logged on to using the Log On/Off command). Credential caching options do not apply to device
profiles. You are allowed to set the options for a device profile so that they will have an effect if you convert
the profile to a user-override profile by logging on to it using the Log On/Off command.

Static IP Address Entry Fields

Field Description

IPv4 Address The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with each other. Each

communication carries the address of the source and destination networks and the particular
machine within the network associated with the user or host computer at each end. This
address is called the IP address. Each node on the IP network must be assigned a unique IP
address that is made up of a network identifier and a host identifier. Enter the IP address as a
dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value of each octet separated by a period, for example,

192.168.7.27.

Subnet Mask Most Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks use subnets to

manage routed IP addresses. All IP addresses have a network part and a host part. The
network part specifies a physical network. The host part specifies a host on that physical
network. The subnet mask allows a network administrator to use some of the bits that are
normally used to specify the host to instead specify physical sub-networks within an
organization. This helps organize and simplify routing between physical networks.

Gateway The default gateway forwards IP packets to and from a remote destination.

Import certificates from either files or from a server machine:

•

.CER file - DER encrypted Root/Server certificates.

NOTE In order to validate a server certificate for an Intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) during authentication, it is

only necessary to import the certificate from the associated Root CA and then specify the Root CA in the
profile.

NOTE For China WAPI networks: Both AS Server Certificates and ECC encrypted ASUE User Certificates are

issued in .CER file format. These files must be imported using the Fusion Manage Certificates utility in order
for the certificates to be recognized by the Fusion WLAN software.

•

.PFX file - Personal inFormation eXchange (PFX) formatted file containing one or more Root/Server and/or
User/Client Certificates. These files are usually protected by a password, so a password will be prompted for.
If there is no password, enter nothing and select the OK button.

•

Server - User/Client certificates can be requested directly from a CA on the network. A User name, Password
(optional), and the Server (an Internet protocol (IP) address) must be provided to obtain a certificate for the
User from the CA.

NOTE It is possible to import and successfully use a user certificate issued by an Intermediate CA; however, this may

require additional infrastructure setup. For example, it may be necessary to supply the RADIUS server with
certificates for both the Intermediate CA and for the Root CA. Infrastructure setup is beyond the scope of this
guide.

NOTE For China WAPI networks: Both ASUE User and AS Server Certificates are only issued in file format and

are cannot be imported directly from a server. These files must be imported using the Fusion Manage
Certificates utility in order for the certificates to be recognized by the Fusion WLAN software.

that communicate with each other. Each communication carries the address of the source and
destination networks and the particular machine within the network associated with the user
or host computer at each end. This address is called the IP address. Each node on the IP
network must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier and a
host identifier. The IP address is shown in dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value of
each octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27.

Protocol (TCP/IP) networks use subnets to manage routed IP addresses. All IP addresses
have a network part and a host part. The network part specifies a physical network. The host
part specifies a host on that physical network. The subnet mask allows a network administrator
to use some of the bits that are normally used to specify the host to instead specify physical
sub-networks within an organization. This helps organize and simplify routing between
physical networks.

CHAPTER 10 LOG ON/OFF APPLICATION

Introduction

NOTE Log On/Off application is available only when Fusion Manages WLAN is enabled in the Options application.

There are two ways a user can connect to a profile when the profile requires credentials: either by using the
Manage Profiles window, or by using the Network Login application. In the first case, Fusion automatically
launches the Network Login window to allow the user to enter credentials when they are needed. In the second
case, the user explicitly launches the Network Login window and supplies the credentials ahead of time and then
tells the system to use them to connect. In either case, once the user has given the credentials, the user is said to
have logged on (or in) to the profile. When the user has logged on to a profile, the system saves those credentials
and the profile is said to have cached credentials.

When the user launches the Network Login application, the mobile computer may be in one of two states; the user
may be logged onto one or more profiles, by having already entered credentials through the login window, or the
user is not logged on to any profile. Each of these states has a separate set of use cases and a different look to the
dialog box.

Figure 10-1

Network Login In Window

10 - 2 Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide

Logging On

If not already logged on to any profile, the user can launch the Network Login window in order to select a profile to
log on to.

If already logged into one or more profiles, the user can launch the Network Login window to perform any of these
functions:

•

Connect to a different profile.

•

Connect to and re-enable a cancelled profile. To do this:

• Launch the Network Login window.

• Select the cancelled profile from the Wireless Profile drop-down list.

• Login to the profile.

NOTE A cancelled profile can also be re-enabled by using the Manage Profile window to connect to the cancelled

profile.

•

Log off from all profiles simultaneously to prevent another user from accessing the current users network
privileges.

•

Switch mobile computer users.This is equivalent to performing a log off followed by a log on.

The appearance of the Network Login dialog box varies if it is:

•

Launched by Fusion, because the service is connecting to a new profile that needs credentials.

•

Launched by Fusion, because the service is trying to verify the credentials due to credential caching rules.

•

Launched by a user, when a user is logged in.

•

Launched by a user, when no user is logged in

Logging Off

The user can log off from all profiles simultaneously by launching the Network Login window and tapping the Log
Off button. The Log Off button only displays when a user has cached credentials for one or more profiles. When
the Log Off button is selected, the user is prompted with three options: Log Off, Switch Users, and Cancel.
Switching users logs off the current user and re-initialize the Network Login window to be displayed for when there
is no user logged on. Logging off logs off the current user from all profiles and closes the login dialog box. Tapping
Cancel closes the Log Off dialog box and returns to the Login dialog box.

When the user is logged off, the mobile computer only roams to profiles that do not require credentials or to profiles
that were created with the credentials entered into the profile.

Tap the Cancel button to close the Network Login window without logging into the network. If the Network Login
window was launched by Fusion Wireless Companion and not by the user, tapping Cancel first causes a message
box to display a warning that the cancel will disable the current profile. If the user still chooses to cancel the login at
this point, the profile is cancelled.

Once a profile is cancelled, the profile is suppressed until a user actively re-connects to it.

NOTE Entering credentials applies the credentials to a particular profile. Logging out clears all cached credentials.

Editing a profile clears any cached credentials for that profile.

10 - 4 Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide

CHAPTER 11 PERSISTENCE

Introduction

As you configure the Fusion Wireless Companion settings (i.e., profiles, options, user and root certificates, and
PACs), they are saved either in the Microsoft registry or in files in the file system. This allows the Fusion Wireless
Companion settings to persist across a warm boot. However, the registry and the volatile parts of the file system
are lost after a cold boot on Windows CE devices and after a clean boot on Windows Mobile devices. So that the
Fusion Wireless Companion settings won’t be lost, Fusion Wireless Companion provides a mechanism for
persisting the Fusion Wireless Companion settings across a clean/cold boot, Part of this mechanism is
automatically implemented by Fusion, and part of it must be performed manually by the user.

This chapter discusses how to:

•

make sure your Fusion Wireless Companion settings, persist across a clean/cold boot.

•

return the Fusion Wireless Companion settings to their factory default values.

Persisting Fusion Wireless Companion Settings

The Fusion Wireless Companion settings that are saved in the registry include:

•

Profiles.

•

Options.

The Fusion Wireless Companion settings that are saved in the file system include:

•

User certificates.

•

Root (server) certificates.

•

PACs.

Fusion Wireless Companion automatically persists user certificates, root certificates imported from .pfx files, and
PACs. This data is stored in files in subfolders of the Application folder. The Application folder is part of the
non-volatile file system and is not lost on a clean/cold boot. After the clean/cold boot, Fusion Wireless Companion
automatically reads the data back in from the files that have been saved under the Application folder and restores
the settings.

11 - 2 Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide

Fusion Wireless Companion relies on the user to help manually with persistence for profiles, options, and root
certificates that are imported from .cer files. Since the profiles and options are stored in the registry, the user must
export them to files under the Application folder before performing the clean/cold boot. You can use the Export
function from the Options application. See Export on page 7-8. When you import a root certificate from a .cer file,
place the .cer file in \Application\RootCerts. This allows Fusion to find the .cer file after a clean/cold boot and
re-install the root cert that it contains.

When you install a user certificate, be sure to install it either through the Profile Editor Wizard or through the
Fusion Certificate Manager application. This allows Fusion Wireless Companion to automatically save the data for
the user certificate in a special format to files in the Application\UserCerts folder.

Returning to Factory Default Settings

To return the Fusion Wireless Companion settings to their factory default values, you must remove all files in which
the Fusion settings are stored. Delete the following files from the mobile computer:

•

The file that stores your Fusion Wireless Companion profiles. This file will have been created manually and is
usually named \Application\WCS_PROFILES.REG.

•

The file that stores your Fusion Wireless Companion option settings. This file will have been created
manually and is usually named \Application\WCS_OPTIONS.REG.

•

All files in \Application\RootCerts. For backward compatibility with previous versions, Fusion Wireless
Companion also searches, after a clean/cold boot, in \Application for persisted root certificates stored in files
with the extension .cer. If you have manually placed any .cer files in \Application, remove them as well,

•

All files in \Application\UserCerts.

•

All files in \Application\Pacstore.

After you delete the files specified above, perform the clean/cold boot. The Fusion Wireless Companion settings
should be restored to their factory default values.

CHAPTER 12 NO USER INTERFACE

FEATURES

This chapter describes the features of Fusion Wireless Companion that can be turned on and off but do not have a
standard Fusion user interface. Instead, these features are controlled by registry settings or via infrastructure
settings. The following features are described in this chapter:

•

Channel Mask

•

Network Policy Configuration Service (NPCS)

Channel Mask

Channel Mask is a feature to reduce the number of channels mobile computers scan to pick an AP to connect to.
This could improve first connect as well as roam times by reducing the time spent scanning channels.

Channel Mask is controlled by a registry key under the following path:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\HORNET10_1\Parms]

The key syntax can take any one of the following sample forms:

“ChannelMask_a_CN” = “{36}”

“ChannelMask_bg_CN” = “{1, 11}”

“ChannelMask_bg_CN” = “{1-6, 11}”

“ChannelMask_a_CN” = “{36-44, 48}”

Channel Mask can be defined for A or BG bands. Channel Mask is applied at radio initialization time. This limiting
of channels to scan can yield connection and roam performance improvements.

NOTE Final list of channels that the mobile computer scans is decided by an intersection of Band Selection, Channel

Mask and Regulatory settings. Band Selection is a top level filter, i.e., no channels from a disabled band are
used for any purpose. Channel Mask and Regulatory constraints further prune the channel list from enabled
bands.

If the resulting channel set is a null set then the mobile unit may not scan or connect at all.

Network Policy Configuration Service

NPCS is a Microsoft feature. This policy is defined via a Microsoft registry key to indicate whether WLAN should be
enabled or disabled. If the NPCS registry key is set then:

•

The wireless radio must be powered off;

•

Users must not be able to scan or connect to Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access points.

•

Users must not be able to send or receive data over a WLAN.

•

WLAN-related UI must be disabled, hidden or grayed out.

•

If the wireless LAN stack exposes any WLAN Application Programming Interface (API)s for third party
applications they must be disabled.

WLAN can be re-enabled if the registry key is properly modified.

NPCS registry key has the following syntax:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NetworkPolicy\WiFi]

“Disabled”=dword:0

No User Interface Features 12 - 3

Default registry key setting of 0 (or key not present) implies the policy is disabled. This allows WLAN to function
normally. A key value of 1 (or greater) implies the policy is enabled. This enforce the policy by disabling the radio
and all the WLAN related User Interfaces.

CHAPTER 13 FIPS COMPLIANT OPERATION

This chapter describes how to set up and use Fusion Wireless Companion in a Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS)-compliant manner.

General Guidelines

Fusion Wireless Companion does not force the user to operate the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) in a
FIPS-compliant manner. It is the responsibility of the user to configure and use the device in a FIPS-compliant way
when FIPS-compliant operation is desired. This includes appropriately configuring:

1. Fusion Options

2. Fusion Profiles

3. The WLAN infrastructure (e.g., access points (APs)).

Setting Up the Fusion Options

Ensure that the following Options are enabled:

1. Fusion Manages WLAN. Operation in FIPS mode is not supported when Windows Manages WLAN is

enabled. See WLAN Management on page 7-5 for more information.

2. FIPS Mode. See FIPS on page 7-6 for more information.

Reboot the device for the new settings to take effect. Verify that the device is operating in FIPS mode by checking
the Wireless Log in the Wireless Status application. In FIPS mode, the message Operating in FIPS 140-2 level
1 mode displays during the boot-up sequence.

Setting Up FIPS-Compliant Profiles

To operate in a FIPS-compliant manner, it is the user's responsibility to set up and use appropriate profiles. (Note
that it is possible to create and use non-FIPS-compliant profiles even in FIPS mode). To create FIPS-compliant
profiles, follow these guidelines:

1. Specify only Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)2-Enterprise or WPA2-Personal for Security Mode.

13 - 2 Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide

2. Specify only Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS), Protected Extensible

Authentication Protocol (PEAP), or Extensible Authentication Protocol-Tunneled Transport Layer Security
(EAP-TTLS) for Authentication Type. Any Tunnel Authentication Type is OK.

3. Uncheck both the Allow MOVEOP and Allow CCKM checkboxes.

4. Specify only certificates that have been installed on the device that were generated on a host that used a key

length >= 1024 in generating/signing the certificates. Acceptable algorithms include only DSA, RSA, and Diffie
Hellman (DH).

5. Specify only AES for Encryption Type.

See Chapter 4, Profile Editor Wizard for details on setting up profiles.

If FIPS mode is enabled and attempt to connect using a profile that is not FIPS compliant, a message is written to
the Wireless Log indicating that the profile is not FIPS compliant. The message indicates which setting in the
profile is in violation.

Setting Up the Infrastructure

Since Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption is non-FIPS-compliant, Mixed Mode infrastructure settings
that support both Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and TKIP are not allowed. Specifically, the infrastructure
must be set up to use only AES for the pair-wise cipher suite, and only AES for the group cipher suite.

Use of PEAP Authentication

Use of PEAP authentication in FIPS mode is only supported for non-Microsoft RADIUS servers. Attempting PEAP
authentication with Microsoft's IAS server will result in failure. This occurs because the IAS server requires the use
of TLS cipher-suites that are non-FIPS-compliant. Fusion Wireless Companion detects this non-FIPS-compliant
requirement and intentionally fails the authentication.

NOTE When operating the device in FIPS mode, PEAP authentication with a Microsoft IAS RADIUS

server will fail.

To use PEAP authentication when FIPS mode is enabled, set up the infrastructure to use a non-Microsoft RADIUS
server, such as the Cisco ACS server.
