CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED
Introduction
Each Zebra mobile computer has a wireless local area network (WLAN) interface. This WLAN interface is
managed by the Fusion Wireless Companion 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.
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
software to configure the mobile computer to match.
Fusion Overview
The Fusion software contains applications with which to create wireless profiles. Each profile specifies the
security parameters to use for connecting to a particular WLAN as identified by its ESSID. The Fusion software
also allows the user to control which profile out of a set of profiles is used to connect. Other Fusion applications
allow the user to monitor the status of the current WLAN connection and to invoke diagnostic tools for
troubleshooting.
The Fusion 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.

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 AP. Redoing the Find WLAN command shows the proper full results.
If you do not see your 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.

Save As Dialog Box
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 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 EAP-GTC for its Tunnel Authentication Type and Token (as opposed to Static) for
its password type. See Tunneled Authentication on page 4-5 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 4-13 for more information.
Manage Profiles Application 3 - 5
•
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.
The Profile Roaming algorithm is invoked whenever the mobile computer becomes disconnected
(disassociated) from the current WLAN.

Use the Profile Editor Wizard to create a new WLAN profile or edit an existing profile. If editing a profile, the
fields reflect the current settings for that profile. If creating a new profile, default values appear in the fields.

number of pages traversed and total number of pages required to complete the current profile configuration.
