194 Cisco Client Configuration
MX3X Reference Guide E-EQ-MX3XRG-H
Cisco Wireless Security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is only available on mobile device’s equipped with the updated
Cisco client driver (release 2.60 or later).
WPA requires software revision 1ED or greater. To identify the software revision, please tap the
“About” icon in the Control Panel.
Please refer to the “LXE Security Primer” to prepare the Authentication Server and
Access Point for Cisco client communication.
It is important that all dates are correct on the .NET computers when using any type
of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct
authentication will fail.
System Requirements
To support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), the mobile device must be equipped as follows:
• Cisco 350 network card with driver release 2.60 (or later).
The LXE MX3X supports WPA and all authentications. The Microsoft supplicant and Cisco
supplicants are used separately or together to provide support for the different authentications.
Most of the configuration is done with the Microsoft Wireless Configuration tool.
WPA/LEAP requires the Cisco supplicant and Cisco ACU configuration tool.
Installing Client Device Drivers
Which version of the Cisco client driver should be installed depends on which authentication
protocol is to be configured.
• Cisco PEAP should not be installed if using PEAP/MSCHAP.
• Cisco PEAP must be installed if using PEAP/GTC.
• For all other authentications (LEAP, EAP-TLS, WPA-PSK) it does not matter if
Cisco PEAP is installed or not.
To determine if Cisco PEAP is installed or to change the installation, refer to the instructions in
the following sections.
