the CV60” on page 32.
4 Make sure that the CV60 is talking to the network and that
the network can see the CV60.
Configuring Security on the CV60
The CV60 provides three types of security for your wireless
network:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
•WEP
This section explains how to configure security on your wireless
CV60. If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling Security”
on page 57. 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 35.
If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x WEP
security, this section assumes that your authentication server and
authenticators are properly configured.
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 CV60 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 infrastructure mode.
• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or
more clients.
