802.1X

802.1X is an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that defines a method for

port-based network access control or authentication. In an 802.1X secured network, the printer must be

authenticated by a central authority, typically a RADIUS server, before it can access the physical network.

You can enable and configure the printer to be used in an 802.1X secured network from the printer

control panel or in CentreWare Internet Services.

Before you begin:

 Ensure that your 802.1X authentication server and authentication switch are available on the

network.

 Determine the supported authentication method.

 Create a user name and password on your authentication server.

Note: This procedure causes the printer to restart and be unavailable over the network for several

minutes.
