Configuring 802.1X via Phone User Interface 

If you select EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2, EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP/GTC, 
EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC or EAP-FAST mode, you should upload CA certificate in advance using 
configuration files or via web user interface. For SIP IP phones running firmware version 81 or 
later, the CA certificate needs to be uploaded only when 

Authenticated Provisioning

 mode is 

selected from the 

Provisioning Mode

 field. 

If you select EAP-TLS mode, you should upload CA certificate and device certificate in advance 
using configuration files or via web user interface. 

The following takes a SIP-T23G IP phone running firmware version 81 as an example. 

To configure 802.1x via phone user interface: 

1.

 

Press 

Menu

->

Settings

->

Advanced

 

Settings

 (default password: admin) 

->

Network

->

802.1x

. 

If the Pass-thru mode is available on your new phone, you can select the Pass-thru mode from 
the pull-down list of 

DOT1XSTAT Options

 via web user interface.
