Introduction
This section provides information on the wireless features:
• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
• Bluetooth
• Near Field Communications (NFC)
Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the MC33XX to communicate wirelessly in a small area. The MC33XX
contains a Wi-Fi ™ certified radio to exchange data on a Wi-Fi network. Before using the MC33XX on a Wi-Fi
network, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the Wi-Fi (sometimes known as
infrastructure). The infrastructure and the MC33XX must both be properly configured to enable this
communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius
servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen Wi-Fi security scheme, use the Wireless & networks
settings to configure the MC33XX to match the security scheme.
The MC33XX supports the following Wi-Fi security options:
• Open
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 Personal (PSK)
• Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
• LEAP
• Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) - with MSCHAPV2 and GTC authentication.
• Transport Layer Security (TLS)
• TTLS - with Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 authentication.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status. See on page 47 for more
information.
