Connecting VIA Connect² to an 802.1X Network
VIA Connect² enables you to wirelessly connect your VIA Connect² device as a client device
to an 802.1X network using password authentication or EAP-TLS authentication.
EAP-TLS features include:
• Mutual authentication (server to the client and client to server).
• Key exchange to establish dynamic WEP or TKIP keys.
• Fragmentation and reassembly of very long EAP messages, if needed.
• Fast reconnect via TLS session resumption.
To Connect VIA Connect² as a client device to an 802.1X network:
1. Set up a Radius server to validate the certificate that you will upload to VIA Connect².
2. Set up an access point (AP) with 802.1X type security.
The Radius server IP address and password will be passed while configuring the 802.1x
security type on the access point. This password is the same one that is used in the
Radius server.
3. Click Device Management > Network Settings in the navigation pane.
The Network Settings page appears.
4. Click WiFi; The WiFi tab appears.
5. Click the Switch On or Off Wifi switch; The switch turns green and the WiFi settings
appear.
4. Click Client Mode; The Client Mode tab appears.
