Configuring WPA-PSK Security With Funk Security
Use this procedure to set WPA-PSK security on your 751G with Funk
security.

1

Make sure you have configured the communications and radio
parameters on your 751G and that Funk is your security choice.

2

Open Intermec Settings. Tap (+) to expand Communications > 802.11
Radio
> Funk Security > Profile X with “X” being “1” through “4.”

3

For Association, select “WPA” and press Enter.

4

For 8021x, select “None” and press Enter.

5

For Pre-Shared Key, enter the pre-shared key or the passphrase.

The pre-shared key must be a value of 32 hex pairs preceded by 0x for a
total of 66 characters. The value must match the key value on the access
point. The passphrase must be from 8 to 63 chtomaracters. After you
enter a passphrase, the 751G internally converts it to a pre-shared key.
This value must match the passphrase on the authenticator.

6

Exit the Intermec Settings applet.

Using 802.1x Authentication

802.1x authentication provides centralized user authentication using an
authentication server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These
components communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS
(Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication
Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP
key management. To use 802.1x security, you need:

• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio.

• A 751G with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option.
