IEEE 802.1X

IEEE 802.1X is the standard protocol for allowing client users to be authenticated to the

network before obtaining a connection. It provides effective access control to both wired

and wireless networks.

IEEE 802.1X network consists of an authentication server (RADIUS server) and

authenticator (switching hub with authentication function). Supplicants (devices such as

printers) can join the IEEE 802.1X network by being authenticated by the authentication

server and authenticator.

To print via an IEEE 802.1X network, you have to make the necessary network settings

using a computer that is not connected to the IEEE 802.1X network before connecting the

printer to the IEEE 802.1X network.

1. Connect the printer and computer, which is not connected to the network, using an

Ethernet cable.

2. Assign an IP address to the printer and print the network status sheet to confirm the IP

address.

3. Start Remote Manager on the computer and import the digital certificate, then make the

IEEE 802.1X settings and other necessary settings.

4. Turn off the printer and disconnect the printer and computer.

5. Connect the printer to the destination IEEE 802.1X network and turn it on, then print the

network status sheet to confirm the settings.

For details on the settings, refer to the Remote Manager help.
