802.1X
802.1X is an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that defines a method for
port-based network access control or authentication. In an 802.1X secured network, the printer must
be authenticated by a central authority, typically a RADIUS server, before it can access the physical
network.
You can enable and configure the printer to be used in an 802.1X secured network.
Before you begin:
•
Ensure your 802.1X authentication server and authentication switch are available on the network.
•
Determine the supported authentication method.
•
Create a user name and password on your authentication server.
Enabling and Configuring 802.1X
You can enable 802.1X settings from the printer control panel or in CentreWare IS.
Notes:
•
Changing and applying 802.1X settings causes the printer to restart. The printer may be
offline for several minutes.
•
If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see
