Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other
servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or
other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering
rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy
provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies,
making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server
monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in
corporate firewalls within intranets.

frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1).
Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 m (32.8 ft)) communication and low
power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth
enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the healthcare,
fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption and cost while
maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
Wireless
Aggregated FT improves on IEEE 802.11r, Over-the-DS fast roaming. In conjunction with Zebra wireless
LAN infrastructure, the device will achieve more reliable and consistent fast roaming. Default: enabled.
The device monitors neighbor access points and retrieves roaming related information from the Zebra
wireless LAN infrastructure without doing scans. Using this Scan Assist feature, the device improves
roaming. Default: enabled.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with
Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work.
There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries
during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
• Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or
predefined channel mask.
• Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
• Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
• Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH
coexistence allows enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5
mW and the expected range is 10 m (32.8 ft). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due
to power and device differences, and whether in open space or closed office space.
NOTE: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is
required.

Bluetooth Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This
allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security
occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The
Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to authenticate devices, and if needed,
encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth
while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and
create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired
generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no
key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth
devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create
other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to
authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the
Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
• Perform pairing in a secure environment
• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
• Implement application-level security.
