Enable IEEE 802.1x - Select this checkbox to enable 802.1x. The IEEE 802.1x protocol allows the printer to be authenticated on a network that uses a RADIUS server. 802.1x Port Based Network Access Control is used to ensure that printers that are connected to the network have the proper authorization. The 802.1x configuration is used to authenticate the printer rather than an individual user. After the printer has been authenticated, it will be accessible to users on the network.

Authentication Method - Select the authentication method from the list presented in the drop-down list.

• EAP-MD5
  Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This method offers minimal security.
• EAP-MS-CHAPv2
  This is the Microsoft-supported EAP method, but does not include the PEAP shell.
• PEAP/MS-CHAPv2
  Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP). This is an open standard authentication method and is widely supported by software vendors. EAP-MS-CHAPv2 is an inner EAP method supported by Microsoft.

Login Name (Device Name) - Enter the login name that will be used for authentication to the RADIUS server.

Password - Enter a password up to 7 characters in length, which is used when logging in to the printer. There is no password set by default. Password can include alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
