Depending on the EAP method, a password must still be specified
and, if necessary, certificates must also be installed.

The server certificate does not have to exist. In the sense of
secure authentication, however, it is recommended to load a server
certificate.

The user usually does not have to be specified with TLS
3 Inner auth only with
TTLS and
PEAP
This defines the protocol that is used during EAP authentication.
MSCHAPV2 is usually the correct setting here.
4 EAP Username
(public)
EAP username
5 EAP Username
(private)
EAP Username for the "inner" authentication. Only in exceptional
cases, this user name differs from the first entry.
6 EAP Password EAP Password assigned in connection with the EAP username.
This password is not required with the EAP type TLS.
5.2.5 Certificates
1 Certificate
Password
With this password the MC can access the elements of the client
certificate.
2 Secure client
key
Activating this option prevents the client certificate from being saved
in the configuration file.
In the following, the user has the possibility to upload a client certificate and a total of 4 server certificates to
the MC ("Upload").
Certificates which have already been uploaded can be deleted with "Delete" from the configuration.
5.3 Wireless Roaming
In order to maintain the data connection in a mobile application or in an environment with changing reception
conditions, the quality of the WLAN connection is continually checked and, if required, a connection to other
better-positioned access points (AP) is established. For this purpose, the MC must also scan for alternative
APs on other channels in the specified frequency range. This short-term change of the channel impedes the
ongoing data transmission. Therefore, parameters are provided which make this scan procedure and the
criteria for the change to another AP adjustable so that the data connection can be kept as stable as possible
in accordance with the conditions of use.
5.3.1 Roaming Parameter
The roaming behavior of the MC is determined by the following parameters:
• The adjusted frequency band (2.4 and (or) 5 GHz)
