>
Setting up the EAP-TLS certificate on the tool
1.
Installing an EAP-TLS certificate on the tool. There are two ways to do this:
-
Installation via software update on the tool:
Using the
LiveWire Cert
software to create a
*.tma
file from the EAP-TLS certificate and per-
form a software update,
see chapter 3.11.7 Carry Out a Software Update, page 56
.
-
Installation via external software:
Install the EAP-TLS certificate to the tool via a
*.tma
file. Use the
LiveWire Cert
software for
this, see document
P2521JH
.
2.
Parameterize EAP-TLS encryption on the tool. Use the
Cordless RF Configuration
software for
this, see
P2372JH
. Configure the following WLAN settings and transfer them to the tool with <Apply>:
Parameter
Description
SSID
Enter the SSID of the WLAN network name.
Encryption
Select an 802.1x EAP-TLS encryption.
Username
Enter the username and password of the WLAN infrastructure. If not re-
quired, enter any username and password. The entry has no effect on the
WLAN settings. The WLAN settings cannot be transferred to the tool if these
input fields are empty.
Password
Confirm password
As soon as the EAP-TLS encryption is parameterized, the symbol
is displayed. The date until the
EAP-TLS certificate file is valid, is displayed next to the symbol. The background color of the date indicates
its status:

An EAP-TLS certificate file cannot be uninstalled or transferred to another tool. The EAP-TLS certificate
file can only be deleted if the tool is reset to the factory settings.
To use a newer certificate file, install it on the tool. The tool al ways uses the certificate file with the newest
date.
