LEAP Wireless LAN Security

Your Dell Axim X51/X51v supports 802.1x network authentication
between the client and server with a logon password using Cisco LEAP.

Cisco LEAP can be configured using the Odyssey Client application.

NOTE:

Before starting, ensure that the Wireless power is enabled using the

Wireless On/Off button.

NOTE:

LEAP is not supported on a peer-to-peer network. LEAP is not supported

on a low configuration Axim X51.

To start Odyssey Client:

1 Tap Start → Settings → Connections → Odyssey Client icon.
2 Tap Settings → Enable Odyssey.

To start using LEAP:

1 Obtain the following information from your network administrator:

Network name

Association mode

Encryption method

2 From the Odyssey Client window, tap Settings → Configure → Add.
3 Enter the network name (SSID) if known, or tap Scan to search for

available Access Points. Tap Next.

4 LEAP will only support an infrastructure network, so do not change the

default settings in the drop-down menu. Tap Next.

5 Fill in the Association Mode and Encryption method. Tap Next.
6 EAP/TTLS is the default EAP type. Tap Add and select EAP/LEAP in

the window that opens up.

Unless you have an authentication certificate to use TTLS and have
configured your system to support it, remove EAP/TTLS.

NOTE:

Failure to remove EAP/TTLS when it is not properly set up may

prevent your wireless security system from functioning.

7 Tap Next.
8 Enter your user name and password. Tap Next.
9 Tap Finish to complete LEAP configuration.
