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. Before you begin:

Ensure 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.

Enabling and Configuring 802.1X

You can enable 802.1X settings from the printer control panel or in CentreWare IS. Notes:

Changing and applying 802.1X settings causes the printer to restart. The printer may be offline for several minutes.

If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Accessing CentreWare IS on page 17.
