Enable 802.1x authentication:
802.1X
is the IEEE standard that offers additional secu-
rity 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 checkbox.
•
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
. “Certificates” on page 88 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.
