802.1x Authentication Setup
The E-42B can seek authentication from an 802.1x authentication server (such as a RADIUS
server), often through an intermediate access point (an authenticator). The E-42B seeks this
authentication at startup time, or when the Ethernet cable is disconnected and reconnected. If
the E-42B is successfully authenticated, it is allowed access to the network.
802.1x Authentication
Choose whether to allow the E-42B to seek authentication from an 802.1x authentication
server.
Select EAP Type
PEAP-MSCHAPv2, MD5-Challenge
Choose the type of EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
User name, password
The E-42B uses this information to request authentication from an 802.1x authentication
server.
Validate Server Certificate
Yes, No
Select Yes if you selected PEAP-MSCHAPv2 as the EAP Type and want the E-42B to use a
trusted root certificate when communicating with the authentication server.
If you want the E-42B to validate the server certificate, place the certificate in the list of
trusted certificates of the E-42B. For more information, see Configure Help.
