Appendix A: TPMC-8T Security Pack (Atheros)

In some situations, such as when your wireless access point is connected to a
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server, authentication is
required before network access is granted.

In order to gain access in this infrastructure, a username and password must be
entered for verification by the server. To facilitate this, the TPMC-8T Security Pack
adds the Atheros Client configuration utility.

The Security Pack is available as a special firmware build (TPMC-8X_SP_1.4.zip or
later) for the TPMC-8T. For details on how to upgrade firmware, refer to “Programs,
Projects and Firmware” whi
ch starts on page 55.

NOTE: The TPMC-8T Security Pack is only needed if authentication is required by
the server with which your wireless access point communicates. If authentication is
not required, Crestron recommends that you do not install this package. Once
installed it cannot be removed without sending the TPMC-8T back to Crestron.

To begin the authentication process for your wireless access point, touch AP in the
“Ethernet Setup” window. (Refer to illustration on page 36.) The “Atheros Client
Utility” window will open.
