Network Key and Key Index
• Key Index: This field is used to identify the WEP key.
Enter a value from 1 to 4 .
• Enable 802.1x authentication: 802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area
networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet network, whether wired or
wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS or MD5 encapsulated in an
EAP is used in conjunction
with the 802.1X standard to authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed in the
drop-down menu next to the
EAP option.
To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication , and check the check box.
• EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol): This drop-down menu lists the EAP types available on
your system. The items in this drop-down menu will vary depending on your network setup. Keep in mind
also that some authentication protocols require that you select a Certificate. By selecting the
Properties
button, you will be able to select a Certificate . “Compass” on page 3-21 provides a website that outlines
how to create certificates for your network.
• Saving and exiting the radio setup: Once you’ve completed the configuration, press [Enter ], or tap
on OK .
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a preferred network. The radio
will search for the SSID and compare the WEP and authentication information you specified. If there is a
match between the hand-held settings and the access point settings, the hand-held will communicate on
the network through the access point.

page 3-86 for details about assigning an IP address.
