to Chapter 1, “Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC.”
Encrypting/Decrypting Data
If your iPAQ Pocket PC has been off for longer than the time you
selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the
device on, you are prompted to authenticate using your
fingerprint, PIN, and/or password. After successful
authentication, your data is decrypted. This may take a few
moments depending on the amount of data you chose to have
encrypted. However, encryption runs in the background, and you
can perform other tasks on your iPAQ Pocket PC during this
time.
You can monitor the decryption process in two ways:
■ If you selected Display encryption status on the Encryption
Settings screen during setup, the HP ProtectTools window
displays the decryption status.
■ If you choose not to display this status, the
encryption/decryption process proceeds in the background,
allowing you to use your Pocket PC for other purposes.
Lock Device
Selecting this option allows you to manually lock your Pocket
PC, requiring authentication to access the device. Data and files

Wi-Fi Terms
It is recommended that you become familiar with the following
terms as you begin to use Wi-Fi technology.
Term Definition
802.11 standard An approved standard specification of radio
technology from the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) used for wireless
local area networks (WLANs).
Device-to-computer or A mode that does not use access points.
ad-hoc It provides independent peer-to-peer
connectivity in a wireless LAN.
Domain Name System The way that Internet domain names are
(DNS) located and translated into IP addresses. It is
an easy to remember name for an Internet
address. Every website has its own specific
IP address on the Internet.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Term Definition
Encryption An alphanumeric (letters and/or numbers)
conversion process of data primarily used for
protection against any unauthorized
person(s).
Hotspots Public or private areas where you can
access Wi-Fi service. These wireless
connections can be located, for example, at
a library, cyber cafe, hotel, airport lounge,
or convention center. This service can be free
or sometimes requires a fee.
Infrastructure This connection mode uses wireless access
points to connect to networks.
Internet Protocol (IP) A 128-bit number that identifies each sender
Address or receiver of information that is sent in
packets across the Internet. For example,
when you request an HTML page or send
e-mail, the Internet Protocol part of TCP/IP
includes your IP address in the message. In
this example, this information identifies your
computer as the sender and/or receiver of
information.
Media Access Control A computer’s unique hardware number in a
(MAC) Address network, which also can provide security for
wireless networks. When a network uses a
MAC table, only the 802.11 radios (wireless
devices) that have had their MAC addresses
added to that network’s MAC table can
access the network.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Term Definition
Security Set Identifier A sequence of 32 characters uniquely
(SSID) defining (naming) a WLAN. Basically, each
set of wireless devices communicating with
each other is called a basic service set
(BSS). Several BSSs can be joined to form
one logical WLAN, called an extended
service set (ESS). An SSID is the 1-32
alphanumeric, case-sensitive name given to
each ESS.
Wi-Fi Protected Access The Wi-Fi encryption method that protects
(WPA) unauthorized network access by utilizing a
setup password (for personal use) or by
verifying network users through a server (for
enterprise use).
Windows Internet A way of managing the association of
Naming Service workstation names and locations with IP
(WINS) addresses.
Wired Equivalent Basic wireless security provided by Wi-Fi.
Privacy (WEP) This security uses an encryption key that
automatically encrypts outgoing wireless
data. On the receiving side, the same
encryption key enables the computer to
automatically decrypt the information so it
can be read.
Wireless Access Point A wireless LAN transceiver or "base station"
that can connect a wired LAN to one or
many wireless devices. In addition, access
points can also bridge to each other.
Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) A certification for wireless LAN products
based on the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Looking Up an IP Address
