Choose Between Microsoft and Funk Security The computer supports both Funk and Microsoft security, which dynamically selects wireless networks based on your preferences. The option you choose depends on your network security needs. • If you are using the CN50 in a static environment that requires a high level of security, you should use Funk security, which offers CCX v4.0 compliance, support for LEAP and TTLS, and configuration for up to four profiles. • If you are primarily using the CN50 to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots, you may want to use Microsoft security. To use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security choice. For help, see "About Microsoft Security" on page 82.
