Using the Embedded Web Server 74

802.1x Authentication

This page allows you to configure 802.1X authentication settings on the
Jetdirect projector server as required for client authentication on your network.
In addition, you can reset the 802.1X authentication settings to factory-default
values.

CAUTION

Use caution when changing the 802.1X authentication
settings; you may lose your connection.
If communication
with the projector is lost, you may need to reset the projector
server to a factory-default state and then reinstall the device.

For most 802.1X networks, the infrastructure components (such as LAN
switches) must use 802.1X protocols to control a port’s access to the network.
If these ports do not allow partial or guest access, the projector server may
need to be configured with your 802.1X parameters prior to connection.

To configure initial 802.1X settings before connecting to your network, you
can use an isolated LAN, or a direct computer connection using a cross-over
cable.

The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated configuration
depend on the server model and firmware version. Available configuration
settings are listed in
