Configure IEEE 802.1x Authentication for a Wired or Wireless Network Using Web Based Management (Web Browser)
- If you configure your machine using EAP-TLS authentication, you must install the client certificate issued by a CA before you start configuration. Contact your network administrator about the client certificate. If you have installed more than one certificate, we recommend writing down the certificate name you want to use.
- Before you verify the server certificate, you must import the CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the server certificate. Contact your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to confirm whether a CA certificate import is necessary.
-
Start your web browser.
-
Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).
For example:
https://192.168.1.2If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.
For example:
https://SharedPrinter
If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
For example:
https://[node name]
The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.

If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.
The default password to manage this machine’s settings is located on the back of the machine and marked "Pwd".
-
Go to the navigation menu, and then click Network.
Start from
, if the navigation menu is not shown on the left side of the screen. -
Do one of the following:
-
For the wired network
Click Wired > Wired 802.1x Authentication. -
For the wireless network
Click Wireless > Wireless (Enterprise)
-
For the wired network
-
Configure the IEEE 802.1x authentication settings.
- To enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for wired networks, select Enabled for Wired 802.1x status on the Wired 802.1x Authentication page.
- If you are using EAP-TLS authentication, you must select the client certificate installed (shown with certificate name) for verification from the Client Certificate drop-down list.
- If you select EAP-FAST, PEAP, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-TLS authentication, select the verification method from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list. Verify the server certificate using the CA certificate, imported to the machine in advance, issued by the CA that signed the server certificate.
Select one of the following verification methods from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list:
Option Description No Verification The server certificate can always be trusted. The verification is not performed. CA Cert. The verification method to check the CA reliability of the server certificate, using the CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the server certificate. CA Cert. + ServerID The verification method to check the common name *1 value of the server certificate, in addition to the CA reliability of the server certificate.
*1 The common name verification compares the common name of the server certificate to the character string configured for the Server ID. Before you use this method, contact your system administrator about the server certificate's common name and then configure Server ID.
-
When finished with configuration, click Submit.
For wired networks: After configuring, connect your machine to the IEEE 802.1x supported network. After a few minutes, print the Network Configuration Report to check the <Wired IEEE 802.1x> status.
Option Description Success The wired IEEE 802.1x function is enabled and the authentication was successful. Failed The wired IEEE 802.1x function is enabled; however, the authentication failed. Off The wired IEEE 802.1x function is not available.
