WPA - PSK on the ACU is out... Now what?

I was instructed to get 128-bit WEP wireless encryption on my network to WPA of any flavor. I prefer to use WPA - PSK, because it works better with our existing infrastructure. We have a couple dozen portable scanners running Windows CE with Cisco 350 radio stations and the ACU 1200 series with the newest IOS WAP connection. When checking to see if an upgrade of the firmware or the utility would allow me to support WPA - PSK, I found this post:

http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=Getting%20Started%20with%20Wireless&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Dpass_through%26location%3Doutline%40%5E1%40%40.1ddc7263/0#selected_message

Oops! Don't think!

So now I know that ACU will not support WPA - PSK.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a solution of encryption using our existing hardware? Reading over the posts in this forum brings up the mention of the other applicants that would work, but no details. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Tyler

You have not mentioned you version of EC or ACU, ACU version 2.60 with the corresponding picture for map 350 or later support WPA either directly or with the aupplicant of windows. You must contact the manufacturer of the scanner for the new code if available for you the models.

Good luck

Bill

  • How to change the encryption type M252dw printer WPA2 (WPA - PSK) for the WPA used by the router?

    We had to change the type of encryption on our WPA2 WiFi router (LAN setup origin, on which to install and successfully used our M252dw printer) and use simple WPA, to solve some other problems of connectivity.

    NOW, the HP printer, we have (M252dw) apparently does not automatically reset the encryption type.

    Apparently, he has no way to automatically start "from scratch" when connecting to the new configuration of router.

    Even with ALL the rest on the LAN works fine and speaking well, including WiFi laptops and smart phones, the HP printer sees the new name of WiFi SSD connects to the router in order to attempt a connection, accepts the new password WPA, but RETAINS THE WPA - PSK PARAMETER OF CONFIGURATION PREVIOUS.

    We know, because after that the printer fails to connect, print the network SHOWS Test report this known problem in the paragraph of the resolution of the problems, but worthless advice said to "run the setup of wireless network for re - enter your network WPA wireless security password. The WPA authentication on your HP printer has been changed from the default setting. This can cause problems connecting to your wireless network, if your wireless router does not use the same breed of WPA authentication.

    Well, DUH.

    Mind you, there is NOTHING in the post above that says:
    1) go to "this" menu item.

    2) click "this" option to change the encryption method.

    (3) select the method (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2) that corresponds to your router.

    ... because... There seems to be NO option ANYWHERE in ANY menu that offers this choice.

    HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO BUTTON, OPTION, SELECTION, OR ADVICE IN THE MANUAL TO RESET OR CHOOSE WPA!

    There is a checklist wonderfully unnecessary, repeated throughout your manuals and on the site, basically saying

    ' Check the type of printer encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.) corresponds to the router.

    Well well... What do you do when you KNOW that it IS NOT?

    Thanks to try at least, I appreciate it.

    Unfortunately, it did not work;

    but it leads to find the answer for later use.

    Summary -

    After selecting
    Printer flow treatment and deleted the saved connection data, an IPv4, subnet mask and default gateway address (router address IPv4) and IPv6 turned power on.

    Then... I did this:

    (1) Went back to and IPv6 turned to back, leaving only ON IPv4.

    2) went back to and returned once again the preferred settings.
    Address: 192.168.254.250

    Mask: 255.255.255.0

    Default gateway: 192.168.254.254

    3) reinforced by the "Wizard" where he immediately found the SSID of the wireless router.

    (4) select the SSID of the router

    (5) when it is asked for the password (which is actually just a 'word' with WPA pass) I got that.

    (6) given the printer attempts to connect and failed.

    WPA - PSK same listed, even noted on the test report from network once more.

    Therefore, no chance after Restore Defaults.

    It really would have been nice if HP had made sure this option actually actually reset * ALL * default settings, including the wiping WPA2 security type.

    (Just for reference, the DHCP range is set to 192.168.254.15 - 192.168.254.47, so that the fixed IP addresses assigned, like this printer, you can assign DHCP to be defined to ensure no changes outside.

    This printer is the FIRST device assigned a fixed IP address, to make sure that nothing else can come into conflict with the IP address and eliminate it as a cause as possible.)

    OK - so after your suggestion, I am inspired to re - enter the menu and look at it again.

    I had already looked through what I have and not able to find the submenu I thought that has been included by HP...

    .. .or I would expect a user was manually choose method/type of security encryption (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2)

    .. .or at least handed to "REMOVE/RESET/nothing: Please ask the next router you are trying to connect to use"

    One thing I found there is the option that resembled what I wanted now:

    That seemed to be the best thing after trying to 'Network Defaults' so I did.

    Then did a not through all the steps above, 1-6...

    * SUCCESS *.

    ALSO: The printer is already running on each PC had to be "retired" in Windows

    -According to the right

    -Then follow up

    -Waited for printer not found, click it, and then select

    Thank you HP - I just needed to find out who Reset was correct.


    Now - I humbly suggest stating that in the manual.

    Under the line "Verify encryption type corresponds to router", you could add something simple like:

    "IF it isn't, then select and your printer will automatically ask the next router you are trying to connect with and correspond to this type of encryption."

  • Wireless and WPA - PSK on the Satellite L505 - 10 p

    Hello world!

    I recently bought a new laptop, Satellite L505 - 10 p. I installed Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), but the wireless card was not recognized first (it is a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC), so I went to realtek drivers page and downloaded the drivers but it didn't work, so I went to the toshiba support page and then I found the package with drivers fully functional under 64-bit windows 7... Well I thought.

    I have two wireless access points I needed to connect: with WPA (TKIP + AES) protection and the other with WPA - PSK. Initially, it didn't work at all with the windows Connection Wizard, the wpa key interpreted... and he was always asking for it. So I installed ConfigFree toshiba web site and I have connected to my WPA (TKIP + AES), but the other doesn't work at all, it always says "connection error" (with ConfigFree)...
    I know that the L505 series is very recent and that she needs an appropriate driver (not only in Windows, but also Linux).

    You encounter this kind of problem?

    Thank you

    It's me again! Forget everything I said... it was just the Mac filtering on my router blocking the connection...

  • the change network configuration, now what?

    Hello

    I had a great Setup and everything was moving along smoothly.  decided to do?  I decided to make a major change to the architecture of network. and now everything is broken.  Well not everything but my vms that are sitting on my Berry to emc celerra storage is no longer accessible.

    We previously had a stack of core switches. in order to introduce another layer of reduandancy, we decided to split the nucleus in two basic switches separate battery.  After all, except on my celerra virtual machines are still humming. I can't put my finger on what may be the cause.  Ive checked the physical connectivity is not a problem, as have run pings and that all withdrew.  If anyone can provide insight that it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    You need to give more information... What is broken?

    If ping and vmkping works seems strange that nothing works.

  • Satellite P100-160 refuses to connect to my router 3Com with WPA - PSK

    Help! My new laptop Toshiba refuses to connect to my router 3Com (f/w 2.06T13) model 3cWDR100A on WPA - PSK. The router only supports TKIP (no AES).

    The laptop, a Satellite P100-160 is under Vista Home Premium with the latest Intel 3945 11.5.0.32 driver and I tried the version of the site Web of Toshiba version mentioned in other threads (and a few other versions also).

    Either way, I don't like latest driver hit with content identical binary files and different date stamps or running of the anonymous installers that have not been digitally signed.

    The problem is that non-encrypted, or WEP works perfectly, but WPA - PSK is not. It fails with a diagnostic message 'timeout for secondary keys. The thing will be very occasionally connect to the network without a timeout (before I tried to improve things with the last pilot about 1 in 20 attempts after a reboot, now it comes rather from 1 to 100). If I can be sure that the password is correct. When it connects everything is fine and stable with excellent signal until the first suspended and then the connection is lost. It's more than a little irritating.

    I see several topics of doom similar networks to Vista support groups. They all seem to hinge around WPA - PSK TKIP and WiFi Intel chipset x 945 in combination with certain models of router. Please can anyone help solve this mess?

    I've seen other threads of networking in Vista by users with this specific Intel chipset and my router model having exactly the same problem and so far nobody has found a solution. I checked the basics of knowledge (MS & 3Com) and tried a few plausible fixes, but nothing helped. I'm out of ideas.

    It seems a little absurd to demote network security to make the latest PC works correctly. Dumping Vista (however tempting) is not an option.

    Thanks for any suggestions or diagnostics.

    Kind regards

    Hello Martin

    As you can see this is not Toshiba specific stuff and if there is no 'global solution' I don't really know what Toshiba should do about it. As you all know it should support hardware and software (driver), but if not I don't really see a solution for this.
