When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the Worka-
bout Pro4 is switched on from the suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds in the screen in
which you were working prior to turning the computer off.
IMPORTANT Always switch the unit off before changing the battery (see “Switch-
ing the Workabout Pro4 On and Off” on page 1-4). However,
assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve
level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum of
minutes — you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this
time frame.
NOTE If you are using a docking station or an external power supply, you can insert an
uncharged battery and use the device while the battery charges.
IMPORTANT If your Workabout Pro4 fails to power up, consider the following trouble-
shooting options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Motorola battery may be
installed, or the battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend
Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on
page 4-10 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Workabout Pro4 with a battery that
falls below the configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will switch on.

Battery Safety
Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap
time is a minimum of 4 minutes — you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time frame.
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally on a USB memory
stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the “Application” (Flash Disk) partition of the file system.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 4-10 for details about reserving battery
power for data backup purposes.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the battery capacity at
which the Workabout Pro4 will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will
run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose
Maximum Backup Time, the Workabout Pro4 shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be
backed up for a longer period of time.
IMPORTANT Before attempting to install, use, or charge the battery pack, it is crit-
ical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the
quick reference guide entitled Workabout Pro4 Hand-Held Compu-
ter Regulatory & Warranty Guide, PN 8000296

Workabout Pro4 Variant Keyboard Type Available
Workabout Pro4 Long Alphanumeric only
NOTE Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.
Draft #6
Getting to Know Your Workabout Pro4 2 - 5
The [Power] Button
The [Power] button in the lower left corner of the keyboard switches the unit on and off.
Standard Keys
The [ENTER] Key
The [ENTER] key is used to execute the usual Enter keyboard functions.
The [SHIFT] Key
The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and to provide access to other symbols and
functions on the numeric keyboards. Press the [SHIFT] key to turn the shift state 'on' (it will be represented in
the shift-state indicator in the navigation bar at the top of the screen), then press another key to access the
shifted function of that key.
Press the [SHIFT] key twice to lock the shift state on (the shift-state will be outlined in a black frame to indicate
it is locked ‘on’). It is now in CAPS LOCK mode. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the shift state off.
The Arrow Keys
The [Arrow] keys are located near the top of the keyboard, and are represented on the keyboard as triangles
pointing in different directions. The [Arrow] keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the
arrow: up, down, left and right. The left arrow key should not be confused with the [BACKSPACE] key which is
depicted as a left arrow. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next
character you type will appear.
The [BACKSPACE/DEL] Key
The [BACKSPACE] key (represented on the keyboard as an arrow pointing left) moves the cursor one char-
acter to the left, erasing the previous key stroke.
The [DEL] key ([FN] +[BACKSPACE]) erases the character at the current cursor position.
The [CTRL] and [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent.
Pressing either key twice locks it 'on'. Pressing the key once again unlocks it.
The [TAB] Key
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.
The [ESC] Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box, or activity.
The [SPACE] Key
The [SPACE] key is represented on the keyboard by a long, horizontal line bracketed by a small vertical line on
each side. Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, pressing the
[SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.
The [SCAN] Key
The Workabout Pro4 is equipped with a single [SCAN] key at the top of the keyboard and two [SCAN] buttons
located on the left and right sides of the unit. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For units that do not
have internal scanners, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions.
Draft #6
2 - 6 Workabout Pro4 (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Manual
Volume Control – [UP ARROW] [DOWN ARROW]
The volume keys are located above the [UP ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW] and are labelled with blue icons -
the [UP ARROW] is labelled with a plus (+) symbol indicating volume increase while the [DOWN ARROW] is
labelled with a minus (-) symbol indicating volume decrease.
To increase the volume, press the [FN/BLUE] key followed by the [UP ARROW] key. To decrease the volume,
press [FN/BLUE] followed by the [DOWN ARROW] key.
Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key
changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a Workabout Pro4 Qwerty keyboard, a bracket
is printed in orange print above the [U] key. Pressing the [FN/ORANGE] key followed by the [U] key displays a
bracket rather than the letter U.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded
(two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose func-
tion you want modified.
Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the navigation bar at the top
of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active. For example, when the
[FN/BLUE] key is pressed, it is represented in blue in the shift-state indicator icon at the top of the screen.
Figure 2-1
Shift-State Indicator Icon
Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is locked ‘on’, it will remain active until it is pressed again to unlock or turn it off.
To help you identify when a modifier key is locked ‘on’, the key is represented in the shift-state indicator icon
with a black frame around it.

Function Keys and Macro Keys
In addition to the standard keyboard functions, the Workabout Pro4 supports Function keys and Macro keys
(Macro keys are only available on Workabout Pro4 Long units).
All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Tekterm application utilizes
these keys (for detailed information, see the Tekterm Software User Manual, PN 8000073).
Function Keys
Function keys perform special, custom-defined functions within an application. These keys are accessed by
pressing one of the dedicated function keys on the keyboard, or through the appropriate [SHIFT] or [FN] key
sequence, depending on the keyboard variant being used.
All Workabout Pro4 keyboards are equipped with a total of 14 function keys. Function keys [F1] to [F4] located
near the top of the keyboard are directly accessible – a key combination is not required. Ten additional function
keys from [F1] to [F10] are colour coded in blue print on the unit body; these keys are accessed by executing a
key combination, [FN/BLUE] followed by the appropriate key.
For example, to access [F6] on a QWERTY keyboard:
• Press the [FN/BLUE] key followed by the [F] alpha key – the alpha key to which function key [F6]
is mapped.

General Maintenance
Caring for the Touchscreen
The touchscreen is covered with a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside.
The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and
scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conduc-
tive coating. The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
• mustard, ketchup
• sodium hydroxide
• concentrated caustic solutions
• benzyl alcohol
• concentrated acids
NOTE If you use a serial port to connect devices like Workabout Pro4 to your desktop
computer, the connection may not succeed because ActiveSync has trouble
connecting at non-default baud rates.
To work around this problem, set the ActiveSync baud rate on the desktop to
use the same baud rate as the device. You can set the baud rate by editing the
registry on the desktop host computer, as detailed in the steps outlined at the
following website:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324466
Draft #6
Getting to Know Your Workabout Pro4 2 - 29
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (RV6105).
These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touch-
screen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
Do not to expose the touchscreen to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. If this is unavoidable, use a
UV screen protector to extend the life of the screen.

Cleaning the Workabout Pro4
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The Workabout Pro4 has a plastic case
that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits, aircraft de-icing
fluid, and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
• Exposure to aircraft de-icing fluids can degrade the plastics on the Workabout Pro4. If the Workabout Pro4
is used near aircraft de-icing environments, regular rinsing with water is recommended.
• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.
IMPORTANT Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild
detergent to wipe the unit clean.
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only your finger or the
stylus (pen) supplied with your Workabout Pro4.

Programs 3 - 9
The E-mail program is used to send and receive e-mail on your Workabout Pro4. It also provides access to
text messages.
To send and receive e-mail, you’ll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3)
or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception – Outlook e-mail
accounts are set up by default.
Folders
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized
with your Workabout Pro4. You can use ActiveSync on your PC to synchronize additional folders. The folders
and messages you move are mirrored on the server.
For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between the messages on
the Workabout Pro4 and the copies on the mail server are broken. When you next connect, the mail server will
recognize that the messages are missing from the Workabout Pro4 Inbox folder and delete them from the
server, preventing duplication of messages. Keep in mind however that you will not have further access to
messages that you moved to folders from anywhere except with the Workabout Pro4.
For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the server, making
messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from your Workabout Pro4 or your PC.
Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook (PC with Windows XP OS)
By synchronizing the Workabout Pro4 E-mail program with Outlook on your PC, your e-mail is available on
both the Workabout Pro4 and on your PC.
•In ActiveSync on your PC, tap on Tools>Options in the tool bar at the top of the screen.
IMPORTANT For PCs running Windows Vista or Windows 7, follow the guidelines
under “Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook (PC with Windows Vista or
Windows 7)” on page 3-10.
NOTE Synchronizing e-mail does not require that the Workabout Pro4 have an inde-
pendent connection to the Internet.

Bluetooth
Setup
Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is intended for Personal Area
Networks. The technology is based on a short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When
two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a 10 meter range of each other, they can establish a connection.
Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to commu-
nicate.
•Tap on Start>Settings. Tap on the Connections Folder icon followed by the Bluetooth icon.
Turning the Bluetooth Radio On
Before pairing a headset or any other Bluetooth device with your Workabout Pro4, make certain that the Blue-
tooth device power is enabled and that the radio is switched on; it is enabled by default. If, for some reason, it
has been disabled:
• Scroll to the Mode tab.
• Tap in the checkbox next to Turn on Bluetooth.
• Turn your Bluetooth device on and place it within a few feet of your Workabout Pro4.
• If needed, set your Bluetooth device to visible (discoverable) so that the hand-held can detect it and estab-
lish a connection.

Servers Tab
When a remote Bluetooth device initiates a Bluetooth connection to the Workabout Pro4, the remote device is
considered the ‘Bluetooth master’ and the hand-held, the ‘Bluetooth slave’. In order for the remote device to
connect to the Workabout Pro4, the Workabout Pro4 must offer a service in the form of a server. The Servers
tab allows these services to be enabled and configured. There are three server services available: Serial,
Scanner and OBEX OPP (Object Exchange-Object Push Profile).
Serial server enables the Serial Port Profile server; a Serial Port can be selected from the drop-down menu.
Keep in mind that when a port is chosen, an application must be open (connected) to the chosen port for a
remote device to be able to connect.
Scanner server enables a Serial Port Profile server and then relays it to the Scanner Service (SCS). This is
used for Bluetooth barcode scanners that operate in client mode. SCS opens the server port and handles the
scanner input.
NOTE If you choose a service requiring additional information, associated dialog box is auto-
matically displayed where further details can be completed.

Fusion Wireless Companion - Setting Up the XWing2 802.11a/b/g/n Radio
Workabout Pro4 contains an integrated 802.11a/b/g/n radio module. The Fusion Wireless Companion software
is used to configure the radio for one or more wireless network profiles. Each profile specifies the security
parameters used to connect to a particular WLAN as identified by its Extended Service Set Identification
(ESSID). The Fusion Wireless Companion software also allows the operator to control which profile out of a set
of profiles is used to connect. Follow the steps in this section to help configure the radio in your unit.
A network profile contains settings for SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security options.
NOTE For information about setting up your radio using Windows Wireless Zero Config,
refer to Appendix C: “Wireless Zero Config Settings”.
WARNING Due to regulatory requirements, this unit is set to Enable 802.11d by default. If your
Access Point does not support this setting, your unit may not be able to properly
connect to the network.
NOTE In most situations, the configuration of your 802.11 radio will require parameter
settings and access keys from a network administrator.

Macro Keys
A macro key is a single keypress that can be configured to output up to 200 characters (including [ENTER],
[BACKSPACE], [DEL], function keys, arrow keys, etc.). This feature can save time and effort when entering
frequently used key sequences. For example, a macro key can be programmed to output a standard signature,
such as “Sincerely yours, Bob” with a single keypress.
For all keyboard types, you can program up to 15 macro keys. Some Workabout Pro4 keyboards have macros
keys ([M1], [M2] and so on) that are physically present on the keyboard. When you record a macro sequence
and assign it to one of these predetermined macro keys, pressing that key (e.g., [M1]) executes the macro and
sends the programmed key sequence to the hand-held as if it were entered from the keyboard.
If your keyboard does not have dedicated macro keys, or if you wish to use macro keys beyond the ones that
are already present on the keyboard, you need to use Scancode Remapping to remap keyboard keys to act as
macro keys (see “Scancode Remapping” on page 4-42). For example, if you record a key sequence to Macro
7, you could then use Scancode Remapping to remap the [z] key so that pressing it executes Macro 7 rather
than the letter [z].
Recording and Saving a Macro
• In the Macro menu, highlight a Macro number. Tap on the Record button.
A Record Macro screen is displayed.
•Type the macro sequence you want to assign to a keyboard key. You can type text and numbers, and you

Unicode Mapping
• Tap on the Unicode Mapping tab to display this screen.
The Unicode Mapping tab is used to map combinations of virtual key values and [CTRL] and [SHIFT] states to
Unicode™ values. This tab shows the configured Unicode character along with the Unicode value. For
example, “a (U+0061)” indicates that the character “a” is represented by the Unicode value “0061”, and so on.
Keep in mind that Unicode configurations are represented as hexadecimal rather than decimal values.
All user-defined Unicode mappings are listed in the Unicode Mapping tab in order of virtual key value, and then
by order of the shift state. If a Unicode mapping is not listed, the Unicode mapping is mapped to the default
Unicode value.
Adding and Changing Unicode Values
NOTE Keep in mind that if you plan to program additional macros beyond the Macro keys on
your keyboard, or if your keyboard is not equipped with dedicated macro keys, you
will need to use “Scancode Remapping” on page 4-42 to assign a keyboard key that
will act as a macro key.
NOTE Changes to Unicode mappings are not saved until you exit the Unicode Mapping tab
by tapping on [OK].

Scancode Remapping
A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has a unique scan-
code that is mapped to a virtual key, a function, or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the
functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents
the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on,
change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.
There are four different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Orange table, the Blue table and
the Shift table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines key presses that occur
when the [FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/ORANGE]
modifier is on; the Shift table defines key presses that occur when the [SHIFT] modifier is on. The default
mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these four tables using Scancode Remapping.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If the scancode is
remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the column labelled V-Key. In the column labelled
Function, virtual keys that are ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ are displayed.
NOTE To add a shifted state – [SHIFT] and/or [CTRL], tap on the checkbox next to ‘SHIFT
Pressed’ and/or ‘CTRL Pressed’.

When Virtual Key is selected, you can choose to force [SHIFT] to be on or off when the virtual key is sent. If No
Force is selected, the shift state is dependent on whether the shift state is on or off at the time the virtual key
is sent.
When Function is selected, a list of valid functions appears in the dialog box.
When Macro is selected, the macro keys available on your unit are listed in the dialog box.

Trigger Mappings
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or application, the
module(s) – sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)” – of the trigger source. Along with keyboard keys,
trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hardware triggers or software-based. When the specified key
is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.
Double-Click
When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milli-
seconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger Press Type” on page 4-53.

or a clone (the administrator can store different configurations for different uses to clone to other
hand-held computers).
•Tap on Start>Settings>System. Tap on the Total Recall icon.
In the start up screen, you can choose from four options: Create Backup, Create Clone, Manage Profile, and
Delete Profile.
Creating a Backup
• Tap on the Create Backup button to begin the process.

the Profile Location field and choose one of a number of folders.
NOTE Total Recall works differently (e.g. restore on cold boot or on clean boot) on dif-
ferent OS platforms and versions (e.g. Windows CE 5.0, 6.0, Windows Mobile,
Windows Embedded Hand-held). For detailed information and other updates on
Total Recall information, please go to the Ingenuity Working website at:

-Tap on Start. A backup of the current settings will be created and saved to the specified location. The
unit will then reboot.
To view profiles and choose restore options, refer to “Managing Profiles” on page 4-72.
Creating a Clone
Cloning allows you to copy settings or configurations from one computer to another. There are two types of
clones to choose from: a Full Clone and a Settings Only Clone.
A Full Clone contains all files, most of the registry, and the settings files.
A Settings Only Clone can be copied to a wider array of devices, but it should not be used as an autorestore
profile.
• Tap on the Create Clone button to begin the process. Your Workabout Pro4 model type and OS will be
identified in the cloning statement to ensure that you target devices of the same type.
• Give the clone profile a name and location.
•Tap on Next.
• In the next screen, choose All for a Full Clone, or Selected Options for a Settings Only Clone. If you
choose Selected Options, a menu will open to enable you to decide which options you want cloned.
IMPORTANT Any profile not stored in persistent memory (Application directory
(Flash Disk), external USB drive) will be erased during a clean boot;
therefore, you should store profiles on a persistent drive.
When performing an autorestore, the program only searches for the
profile located in the \Application\ or \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. If
you store your profile anywhere else it will not be restored. Only one
profile can reside in that folder.
IMPORTANT The target device for a Full Clone MUST have the same model type
and OS build as the source, otherwise problems can occur. For
example, if the target device has a newer build of the OS, the new
build may have a different set of registry keys that may conflict with
the source.

come up either confirming that the USB drive is ready for deployment, or that it is not available.
• When you are ready to install the profile on another unit, turn on the next computer to be cloned and insert
the USB key. The profile will be automatically installed to the computer’s \Application\ or \Flash Disk\Total-
Recall folder. There is a short delay in deployment so that you can cancel the process if needed.
IMPORTANT After setting an autorestore profile, that profile will overwrite any
other profile already placed in the \Application\ or \Flash Disk\Total-
Recall folder.
In an autorestore, Total Recall only restores the profile located in the
\Application\ or \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. If you store your
profile anywhere else it will not be restored.

Bluetooth Peripherals
The Workabout Pro4 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, making it is possible to communicate with a variety of
Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on.
The range of the Bluetooth radio is limited to approximately 5 meters.
Motorola provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.
• GSM/GPRS universal handset
•Bluetooth printer
•Bluetooth headset
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the Worka-
bout Pro4 includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use
both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the hand-held at the same time, they cannot
transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on
the backbone 802.11g network, Motorola recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction
rates (such as printers and scanners).
Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 4-14 for information about setting up your Bluetooth devices for communi-
cation. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth device to determine the method used to pair
with the Workabout Pro4 host.

Configuring the Unit Using Wireless Zero Config
• In the Wi-Fi screen, tap on Add New....
• Type the appropriate SSID (Service Set Identifier) in the Network name: dialog box. The Network name
field can contain a maximum of 32 characters.
• Choose the type of connection in the drop-down menu next to Connects to.
•Tap on Next.
• In the Configure Network Authentication screen, choose the appropriate Authentication, Data Encryp-
tion, Network key and Key index for your network. These are outlined below. Keep in mind that these
options vary depending on the type of Authentication chosen.
•Authentication: Several subtypes of network authentication services are supported: Open, Shared, WPA,
and WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK.
•Open authentication does not provide security. When this option is chosen, the hand-held connects to
wireless networks which do not use authentication or encryption.
• Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over
a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.
• Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is required. For wireless net-
works without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports the
use of a preshared key. For wireless networks with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) and RADIUS is supported.
•Encryption: WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from accidentally accessing your
network. If you are not using encryption, you can choose Disabled from the drop-down encryption menu.
Otherwise, leave this field as is.
•AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a standard for protecting data through encryption. AES supports
key sizes of 128 bits, 192 bits and 256 bits and will serve as a replacement for the Data Encryption Stand-
ard (DES). In addition to the increased security that comes with larger key sizes, the AES algorithm is a
symmetrical block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher) information.
•TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) uses the original WEP programming but wraps additional code at
the beginning and end to encapsulate and modify it. Like WEP, TKIP uses the RC4 stream encryption algo-
rithm as its basis. The new protocol, however, encrypts each data packet with a unique encryption key, and
the keys are much stronger than those of its predecessor.
•Network Key: This field becomes available if you deselect The key is automatically provided. This text box
is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit
sequence that matches the active WEP key on the access point. It is set to automatically provide a key
by default.

•Key Index: This field becomes available if you deselect The key is automatically provided. This field is
used to identify the WEP key.
•Tap on Next to display the screen in which you can choose the EAP (Extensible Authentication Proto-
col) type.
When Use IEEE 802.1x network access control is enabled, EAP types are available in the drop-down menu.
The items will vary depending on your network setup.
Keep in mind that some authentication protocols require that you select a Certificate. By tapping on the Proper-
ties button, you can select a Certificate.
•Tap on Finish when the configuration is complete.
