Configure IEEE 802.1x Authentication for a Wireless Network Using Web Based Management (Web Browser)
- If you configure your printer using EAP-TLS authentication, you must install the client certificate issued by a CA before you start configuration. Contact your network administrator about the client certificate. If you have installed more than one certificate, we recommend writing down the certificate name you want to use.
- Before you verify the server certificate, you must import the CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the server certificate. Contact your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to confirm whether a CA certificate import is necessary.
- Start your web browser.
- Type "https://printer's IP address" in your browser's address bar.For example:
https://192.168.1.2
If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.
- For example:
https://SharedPrinter
If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
- For example:
https://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx
- If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.The default password to manage this printer's settings is located in the battery cavity and marked "Pwd".
- Go to the navigation menu, and then click Network.Start from if the navigation menu is not shown on the left side of the screen.
- Click .
- Configure the IEEE 802.1x authentication settings.
- If you are using EAP-TLS authentication, you must select the client certificate installed (shown with certificate name) for verification from the Client Certificate drop-down list.
- If you select EAP-FAST, PEAP, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-TLS authentication, select the verification method from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list. Verify the server certificate using the CA certificate, imported to the printer in advance, issued by the CA that signed the server certificate.
Select one of the following verification methods from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list:OptionDescriptionNo VerificationThe server certificate can always be trusted. The verification is not performed.CA Cert.The verification method to check the CA reliability of the server certificate, using the CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the server certificate.CA Cert. + ServerIDThe verification method to check the common name *1 value of the server certificate, in addition to the CA reliability of the server certificate.
*1The common name verification compares the common name of the server certificate to the character string configured for the Server ID. Before you use this method, contact your system administrator about the server certificate's common name and then configure Server ID. - When finished with configuration, click Submit.
