802.11b Wireless Security Supplement
The 802.11b Wireless Security Supplement is also called the AEGIS Client
®
offers a comprehensive IEEE 802.1X supplicant for
securing wired and wireless networks. The Client is a standards-based implementation of IEEE 802.1X and can be configured
to work with almost any network equipment–wired or wireless–that supports the 802.1X authentication standard. The Client is
also interoperable with 802.1X-capable wireless APs and authentication servers including Microsoft's IAS and Cisco's ACS.
The Client solves the problem of key distribution in wireless LANs by using public key authentication and encryption between
Wireless APs (WAP) and roaming stations to exchange dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys. In addition, network
managers can control 802.1X user profiles from a centralized RADIUS server or, in the case of TTLS, from a RADIUS Diameter
or other AAA servers. The Client supports both wireless (802.11b/g) and Ethernet interfaces.
802.1X Supplicant Protocol Support

The Client supports the following authentication methods according to the 802.1X protocols:
• MD5
• EAP TLS

Installing the 802.11b Wireless Security Supplement
The *.cab file for the Client is stored in the \IPSM folder on the terminal but is not installed because it is not stored in the

then reboot.
Note: The *.cab file for the Client will be named LeWM*.cab.

2. Tap the Config Tab (page 8-4) and delete the all network profiles in the Preferred Profiles (page 8-4) section.
3. Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer and navigate to the \IPSM folder.
4. Tap and hold on the LeWM*.cab file and select Cut on the popup menu.
5. Scroll up and tap the AutoInstall folder to open it.
