Configuring your machine for a wireless

network (For HL-4570CDW(T))

Overview 3

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide using WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu. By using this method, you can easily connect your

machine to your wireless network.

Please read this chapter for additional methods on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s network settings (IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway) on page 3.

• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the WLAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time.

• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your Network name: (SSID, ESSID) and Network Key. If you are using an enterprise wireless network you also need to know the User ID and Password.

Control panel setup 5

Network menu 5

The Network menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network configuration. (For more information on how to use the control panel, see the User's Guide.) Press any of the Menu buttons (+, -, OK or Back) to display the main menu. Then press + or - to choose Network. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure. (For additional information on the menu, see Function table and default factory settings on page 37.)

Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility or Web Based Management applications, which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. (See Other Management Utilities on page 6.)

TCP/IP 5

If you connect the machine with a network cable to your network, use the Wired LAN menu selections. If you connect the machine to a wireless Ethernet network, use the WLAN menu selections.

Boot Method 5

This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.

Auto mode 5

In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not answer, the IP Address is set using the APIPA protocol. After the machine is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.

Static mode 5

In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the Boot Method to Static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control panel, BRAdmin Light utility or Web Based Management.

Control panel setup

Note

IP Address 5

This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a Boot Method of Static, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.

Subnet Mask 5

This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet mask to use.

Gateway 5

This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.

IP Boot Tries 5

This field displays how many times the machine attempts to scan the network to obtain the IP address through the Boot Method you have set. (See Boot Method on page 31).

APIPA 5

The setting of On will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set. (See Boot Method on page 31.) Choosing Off means the IP address does not change, when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set.

IPv6 5

This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6 protocol, choose On. The default setting for IPv6 is Off. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit http://solutions.brother.com/

Overview 7

In today’s world there are many security threats to your network and the data that travels over it. Your Brother machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent unauthorized access to the machine. This chapter explains how to configure them.

You can configure the following security features:

 Managing your network machine securely using SSL/TLS (See Managing your network machine securely

using SSL/TLS on page 52.)

 Managing your network machine securely using SNMPv3 protocol (See Secure Management using

Web Based Management (web browser) on page 52 or Secure Management using BRAdmin

Professional 3 (Windows

 Printing documents securely using SSL/TLS (See Printing documents securely using SSL/TLS

on page 54.)

 Sending and Receiving an E-mail securely (See Sending or Receiving an E-mail securely on page 55.)

) on page 59.)

 Using IEEE 802.1x authentication (See Using IEEE 802.1x authentication on page 57.)

 Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (Windows

Note

Managing your network machine securely using SSL/TLS 7

To manage your network machine securely, you need to use the management utilities with security protocols.

Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser) 7

We recommend to use HTTPS and SNMPv3 protocol for secure management. To use the HTTPS protocol, the following machine settings are required.

 A self-signed certificate or a certificate issued by a CA, and a private key must be installed in the machine.

(For how to install a certificate and private key, see Using Certificates for device security on page 60.)

 The HTTPS protocol must be enabled. To enable the HTTPS protocol, choose an installed certificate from

the pull-down list in the HTTP Server Settings page of Web Based Management on the Configure Protocol page, and then enable SSL communication is used (port 443). (For information on

how to access the Configure Protocol page, see How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 40.)

a Start your web browser. b Type “https://Common Name/” into your browser. (Where “Common Name” is the Common Name

that you assigned for the certificate, such as an IP address, node name or domain name. For how to assign a Common Name for the certificate, see Using Certificates for device security on page 60.)

 For example:

https://192.168.1.2/ (if the Common Name is the printer’s IP address)

c You can now access the machine using HTTPS.

We recommend secure management (SNMPv3) be used along with the HTTPS protocol. If you use the SNMPv3 protocol, follow the steps below.

You can also change the SNMP settings by using BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin.

d Click Network Configuration. e Enter a user name and a password. The default User Name is “admin” and the default Password is

“access”.

f Click Configure Protocol.

Security features

Note

g Make sure that the SNMP setting is enabled, and then click Advanced Setting of SNMP. h You can configure the SNMP settings from the screen below.

We have three SNMP connection modes of operation. 7

 SNMPv3 read-write access

With this mode the print server uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server securely, use this mode.

When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, please note the following.

• You can manage the print server by using BRAdmin Professional 3, Web BRAdmin or Web Based Management only.

• We recommend secure SSL communication (HTTPS) be used.

• Except for BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c

read-only access or SNMPv1/v2c read-write access mode.

Security features

Note

 SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access

In this mode the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.

When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some Brother applications (e.g. BRAdmin Light) that access to the print server do not work properly since they authorize the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, use the SNMPv1/v2c read-write access mode.

 SNMPv1/v2c read-write access

In this mode the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all Brother applications under this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and the data will not be encrypted.

For more information, see the Help text in Web Based Management.

Printing documents securely using SSL/TLS 7

To print documents securely over the Internet, you can use the IPPS protocol.

• Communication using IPPS cannot prevent unauthorized access to the print server.

• IPPS is available for Windows 2003/2008.

To use the IPPS protocol, the following machine settings are required.

 A self-signed certificate or a certificate issued by a CA, and a private key must be installed in the machine.

For how to install a certificate and private key, see Using Certificates for device security on page 60.

 The IPPS protocol must be enabled. To enable the IPPS protocol, choose an installed certificate from the

pull-down list in the HTTP Server Settings page of IPP on the Configure Protocol page, and then enable SSL communication is used (port 443). For information on how to access the Configure Protocol

page, see How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 40.

h After configuring, click Submit. The Test E-mail Send/Receive Configuration dialog appears. i Follow the instructions on-screen if you want to test with the current settings.

Sending an E-mail with user authentication 7

This machine supports POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires a user authentication. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the E-mail server. You can use Web Based Management, BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin to configure these settings. You can use POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods for E-mail Notification and E-mail reports.

E-mail server settings

You need to match the settings of SMTP authentication method with the method used by your E-mail server. Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) about the E-mail server configuration.

You will also need to check SMTP-AUTH of SMTP Server Authentication Method to enable the SMTP server authentication.

Security features

SMTP settings

 You can change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP (Internet

Service Provider) implements the “Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service.

 By changing the SMTP port number to a specific number which your ISP is using for the SMTP server (for

example, port 587), you would then be able to send an E-mail via the SMTP server.

 If you can use both POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH, we recommend choosing SMTP-AUTH.

 If you choose POP before SMTP for the SMTP Server Authentication Method, you need to configure the

POP3 settings. You can also use the APOP method if needed.

Sending or Receiving an E-mail securely using SSL/TLS 7

This machine supports SSL/TLS methods to send or receive an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires secure SSL/TLS communication. To send or receive E-mail via an E-mail server that is using SSL/TLS communication, you must configure SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS correctly.

Verifying Server Certificate

 If you choose SSL or TLS for SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS, the Verify Server Certificate

check box will be automatically checked to verify the Server Certificate.

• Before you verify the Server Certificate, you must import the CA certificate that has been issued by the CA that signed the Server Certificate. Contact your system administrator about the CA certificate. For importing the certificate, see Import and export a CA certificate on page 70.

• If you do not need to verify the Server Certificate, uncheck Verify Server Certificate.

Port Number

 If you choose SSL or TLS, the SMTP Port or POP3 Port value will be changed to match the protocol. If

you want to change the port number manually, enter the port number after you choose SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS.

 You must configure the POP3/SMTP communication method to match the E-mail server. For details of the

E-mail server settings, contact your network administrator or Internet services provider.

In most cases, the secured webmail services require the following settings:

(SMTP)

SMTP Port: 587

SMTP Server Authentication Method: SMTP-AUTH

SMTP over SSL/TLS: TLS

(POP3)

POP3 Port: 995

POP3 over SSL/TLS: SSL

Using Certificates for device security 7

Your Brother machine supports the use of multiple security certificates allowing secure management, authentication and communication with the machine. The following security certificate features can be used with the machine.

 SSL/TLS communication

 IEEE 802.1x authentication

 SSL communication for SMTP/POP3

The Brother machine supports the following certificates.

 Self-signed certificate

This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without having a certificate from a CA. (See Creating and installing a certificate on page 62.)

 Certificate from a CA

There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a CA or if you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA:

• When using a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from this print server. (See How to create a CSR on page 67.)

• When importing a certificate and a private key. (See Import and export the certificate and private key on page 68.)

 CA certificate

If you use a CA certificate that identifies the CA (Certificate Authority) itself and owns its private key, you must import a CA certificate from the CA, prior to the configuration. (See Import and export a CA certificate on page 70.)

• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend that you contact your system administrator first.

• When you reset the print server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key that are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after resetting the print server, export them before resetting and re-install them. (See How to export the self-signed certificate, the certificate issued by a CA, and the private key on page 69.)

After installing certificates, you can view what certificates are installed from the Configure Certificate page and then view each certificate's content, delete or export the certificate. For information on how to access the Configure Certificate page, see Configure certificate using Web Based Management on page 61. The Brother machine allows you to store up to three self-signed certificates or up to four certificates issued by a CA. You can use the stored certificates for using the HTTP/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x authentication.

You can also store up to four CA certificates for using IEEE 802.1x authentication and SSL for SMTP/POP3.

We recommend you store one certificate less and keep the last free to deal with certificate expiration. For example, if you want to store a CA certificate, store three certificates and leave one storage as a backup. In the case of re-issuing the certificate, such as when the certificate is expired, you can import a new certificate to the backup and then you can delete the expired certificate, to avoid configuration failure.

When you use HTTP/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x, you must choose which certificate you are using.

2 Network machine (your machine)

 In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier

to configure than the Network Shared printing method. See Network Shared printing on page 2.

 Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

 The Brother machine needs an appropriate IP address configuration.

 If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother

machine.

Types of network connections and protocols

Network Shared printing 1

In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs.

1 Client computer

2 Also known as “Server” or “Print server”

3 TCP/IP, USB or parallel (where available)

4 Network machine (your machine)

 In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.

 The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.

 The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is

connected via the USB or the parallel interface at the server.

Types of network connections and protocols

Note

Protocols 1

TCP/IP protocols and functions 1

Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow users to gain access to network connected resources.

The print server used on the Brother machine supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol.

TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol

can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows The following TCP/IP protocols are available on the Brother machine.

• You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser). (See the Network User's Guide.)

The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) allows you to print documents directly to any accessible machine via the internet.

For the IPPS protocol, see Security protocols on page 19.

mDNS 1

mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS X Simple Network Configured system.

Types of network connections and protocols

Note

TELNET 1

The TELNET protocol allows you to control the remote network devices on a TCP/IP network from your computer.

SNMP 1

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers, routers and Brother network ready machines. The Brother print server supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.

For the SNMPv3 protocol, see Security protocols on page 19.

LLMNR 1

The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution protocol (LLMNR) resolves the names of neighboring computers, if the network does not have a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The LLMNR Responder function works in both the IPv4 or IPv6 environment when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as

Windows Vista

and Windows®7.

Web Services 1

The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista® or Windows®7 users to install the Brother printer driver by right-clicking the machine icon from the Network folder. (See Network printing Installation when using

Web Services (Windows Vista

and Windows®7) on page 15.) The Web Services also lets you check the

current status of the machine from your computer.

HTTP 1

The HTTP protocol is used to transmit the data between a web server and a web browser.

For the HTTPS protocol, see Security protocols on page 19.

FTP (For the Scan to FTP feature) 1

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the Brother machine to scan black and white or color documents directly to an FTP server located locally on your network or on the internet.

Types of network connections and protocols

Note

Configuring your machine for a network 2

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2

To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.

IP address 2

An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.

 Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.

• 192.168.1.1

• 192.168.1.2

• 192.168.1.3

How the IP address is assigned to your print server: 2

If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from that server.

On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the Router.

For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see:

Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page 21. Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 23. Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 22.

If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 23.

Configuring your machine for a network

Subnet mask 2

Subnet masks restrict network communication.

 Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2

•Computer 1

IP Address: 192.168. 1. 2

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000

•Computer 2

IP Address: 192.168. 1. 3

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000

Where the 0 is in the Subnet mask, there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. What this means in the above example is, we can communicate with any device that has an IP address that begins with

192.168.1.x. (where x. are numbers between 0 and 255).

Gateway (and router) 2

A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a destination is located on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the Gateway IP address then contact your Network Administrator.

Configuring your machine for a network

IEEE 802.1x Authentication 2

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for wired and wireless network that limits an access from unauthorized network devices. Your Brother machine (supplicant) sends an authentication request to a RADIUS server (Authentication server) through your access point (Authenticator). After your request has been verified by the RADIUS server, your machine can have an access to the network.

Authentication methods 2

 LEAP (For wireless network)

Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses a user ID and password for authentication.

 EAP-FAST

EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.

The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:

• EAP-FAST/NONE

• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2

• EAP-FAST/GTC

 EAP-MD5 (For wired network)

EAP-MD5 (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Message digest algorithm 5) uses a user ID and password for challenge-response authentication.

 PEAP

PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypt SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security) tunnel between a client and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and password. PEAP provides mutual authentication between the server and the client.

The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:

• PEAP/MS-CHAPv2

• PEAP/GTC

Configuring your machine for a network

 EAP-TTLS

EAP-TTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security) has been developed by Funk Software and Certicom. EAP-TTLS creates a similar encrypt SSL tunnel to PEAP, between a client and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and password. EAP-TTLS provides mutual authentication between the server and the client.

The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:

• EAP-TTLS/CHAP

• EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAP

• EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAPv2

• EAP-TTLS/PAP

 EAP-TLS

EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security) requires digital certificate authentication both at a client and an authentication server.

Specifying your network 3

SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels 3

You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to.

 SSID

Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as SSID or ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point. The wireless network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point. The access point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as a beacon) which has the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify the wireless network that is close enough for the radio waves to reach your device.

 Channels

Wireless networks use channels. Each wireless channel is on a different frequency. There are up to 14 different channels that can be used when using a wireless network. However, in many countries the number of channels available are restricted.

Security terms 3

Authentication and encryption 3

Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network). If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless machine, it will not be able to connect to the wireless network. Therefore care must be taken when configuring these options. Please refer to the information in the Network User's Guide to see which authentication and encryption methods your Brother wireless machine supports.

Authentication and Encryption methods for a personal wireless network 3

Personal wireless network is a small network, for example using your machine in a wireless network at home, without IEEE 802.1x support.

If you want to use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network on page 13.

Authentication methods 3

 Open system

Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.

 Shared key

A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network.

The Brother wireless machine uses the WEP key as the pre-determined key.

 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).

Encryption methods 3

 None

No encryption method is used.

 WEP

By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.

 TKIP

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and rekeying mechanism.

 AES

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the Wi-Fi

authorized strong encryption standard.

Wireless network terms and concepts

Network key 3

 Open system/Shared key with WEP

This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or hexadecimal format.

• 64 (40) bit ASCII:

Uses 5 text characters. e.g. “WSLAN” (this is case sensitive).

• 64 (40) bit hexadecimal:

Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. “71f2234aba”

• 128 (104) bit ASCII:

Uses 13 text characters. e.g. “Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)

• 128 (104) bit hexadecimal:

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. “71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”

 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and TKIP or AES

Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.

Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network 3

Enterprise wireless network is a large network, for example using your machine in a business enterprise wireless network, with IEEE 802.1x support. If you configure your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, you can use following authentication and encryption methods.

Authentication methods 3

 LEAP

For LEAP, see LEAP (For wireless network) on page 9.

 EAP-FAST

For EAP-FAST, see EAP-FAST on page 9.

 PEAP
