CHAPTER 4 WIRELESS
Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the TC8000 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using
the TC8000 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known
as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the TC8000 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 WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & networks
settings configure the TC8000 to match the security scheme.
The TC8000 supports the following WLAN security options:
•
Open
•
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) Personal (PSK).
•
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
• Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) - with MSCHAPV2 and GTC authentication.
• Transport Layer Security (TLS)
• TTLS - with Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 authentication.
• LEAP
• FAST - with MSCHAPV2 and GTC authentication.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status. See Status Bar on page 2-2
for more information.
NOTE
Turn off Wi-Fi when not using it, to extend the life of the battery.
