• Many different menus and options
Some CU360 advanced features, missing in 11.3.0, has been restored in this release.
• 802.1x, 802.1q settings on Ethernet (see next section)
• Disable virtual keyboard when physical keyboard is present
• Removed multi-user mode and aligned generic OS Settings to CU360 capabilities
802.1x (PNAC) and 802.1q (VLAN) for Ethernet
802.1x is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard for port-based
Network Access Control (PNAC). It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to
attach to a LAN or WLAN (Ethernet).
IEEE 802.1X defines the encapsulation of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to
exchange messages during the authentication process. Several authentication protocols that
operate inside the 802.1x framework are suitable for wired networks. These protocols allow the
network to authenticate the client while also allowing the client to authenticate the network.
You can configure network security authentication to be 802.1x compliant over the Ethernet,
where it sends a username and password to your 802.1x authenticator, which verifies the login
with the authentication server.
In addition, if your large network is split into virtual sub-networks to limit the range of broadcasts,
known as VLANs, and your network components support 802.1q compliant VLAN tagging, you
can assign a VLAN ID to tag the device as belonging to a specific VLAN.
In this release the CU360 supports EAP-MD5 (authentication based on username/password) on
the Ethernet for 802.1x.
To enable 802.1x or 802.1q, in this release you need to access the GUI menu:
[GUI]CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>NETWORKS>GLAN>IPV4 ADDRESSES>PROXY
Or the Android Settings; press Home key on the remote control, then swipe up to select the App
Drawer and the Settings app, or search for Settings inside the Apps.
[ANDROID SETTINGS] > ETHERNET > 802.1X(PNAC) OR 802.1Q(VLAN)
Figure 44: Ethernet 802.1 Settings
To configure the device for 802.1x compliant authentication, set
• Enable: Select Yes if your device requires access to network resources via 802.1x
authentication.
• Authentication: Select MD5.
• Username, Password: Enter the 802.1x username and password.
Figure 45: Ethernet Settings for 802.1/X
To configure the device for 802.1q VLAN tagging
• Enable: Select Yes if your network is split into virtual networks (VLANs) and you want
to assign the device to one of them.
• VLAN ID: Enter the ID of the VLAN to which this unit belongs, between 1 and 4094.
• VLAN name: vlan, not modifiable in this release.

Important
• If your network is not supporting 802.1x or 802.1q, enabling them could result in the
device not able to get an IP address.
