h.The first time you establish the EAP-TLS wireless session from a client workstation, Windows will prompt you to verify that the certificate it found is the correct one.

Note: During the authentication processes, there is a session timeout. If either the authenticator or the client does not respond with the proper data to the other side in 30 seconds, the authentication fails. If this happens, you should physically remove the wireless adapter from your computer, and re-insert it to start the authentication again. In addition, if the ME103 is rebooted, you should physically remove the wireless adapter from your computer and re-insert it to start the authentication again.
