802.1x Authentication
CAUTION Use caution when changing the 802.1X authentication settings; you may lose your connection. If communication with the printer/MFP device is lost, you may need to reset the print server to a
For most 802.1X networks, the infrastructure components (such as LAN switches) must use 802.1X protocols to control a port's access to the network. If these ports do not allow partial or guest access, the print server may need to be configured with your 802.1X parameters prior to connection.
To configure initial 802.1X settings before connecting to your network, you can use an isolated LAN, or a direct computer connection using a
The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated configuration depend on the print server model and firmware version. Available configuration settings are listed in Table 4.14.
