CONFIGURING FOR PEAP SECURITY
This security type is a very popular type for enterprise networks. Actual use of the security protocol requires
that the network is using a RADIUS server for device authentication. Depending on the security policies of
the network, this protocol supports authentication with and without a CA (Certification Authority) certificate.
The Airborne device supports PEAPv0 using both WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES-CCMP) encryption. The
device will automatically use the most appropriate encryption type to obtain authentication to the WLAN.

Restarts the device. After the device is rebooted, it will
attempt to authenticate to the configured network. As long
as the network is in range, the wireless interface will
connect.
If the network is using DHCP, then an IP address will be
assigned to the WLAN interface and IP connectivity is
possible over the WLAN network.
If the network is using static IP addresses, it will be
necessary to configure the network interface. See the next
Feature Link
Select Network Settings
The wireless interface is now configured. However, if the
WLAN network does not have a DHCP server available to
provide IP address, to the device, it necessary to assign a
static IP address to the wireless interface.
Selecting Network Settings will allow configuration of the
device with a static IP address. This is covered in section
