LEAP is “Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol.” This feature of the Wireless LAN Manager allows you to increase the security of your device to ensure that no one can access your network without your permission. By default, the LEAP screen displays data you previously entered, and you can modify it or delete it, if desired, by selecting it and then tapping the Modify or Delete button.
To enter new data, tap the New button. Then enter the appropriate SSID (Service Set Identifier), User Name, Password, Domain, and select an Authentication Type. Most 802.11G access points offer by default a form of authentication called Open System authentication, which is the default Authentication Type setting on your Pocket PC Phone. In this mode, the access point grants approval for any request for authentication. The client simply sends an authentication request frame, and the access point responds with an authentication approval. This allows anyone having the correct SSID to associate with the access point.
Note that for LEAP to work correctly, both the access point and the receiving device (your Pocket PC Phone) must be set with the same SSID, User Name, and Password.
