• Set WEP Encryption to Mandatory.

• Conﬁgure a RADIUS server entry. Select the IP address for

the access point since it will serve as the local authentica-

tion server.

NOTE: The Cisco access point local RADIUS Server listens on TCP

ports 1812 and 1813. Select the access point’s IP address in the

Default Server Priorities (EAP Authentication section).

• Ensure the EAP FAST protocol is selected for the Local

Radius Server Authentication Setting. Enter the IP address

of the access point in the Network Access Servers section

and the server’s “shared secret”.

• Ensure that a username and password are entered for the

user. The printer will use these to log onto the network.

• Generate the PAC ﬁle, which must be named “zebra.pac”.

(The Cisco access point PAC generator requires that a

TFTP server be running to receive the ﬁle.) Enter the IP ad-

dress of the server.

NOTE: The PAC ﬁle is encrypted and cannot be viewed with a

text editor.

CONFIGURING THE PRINTER FOR EAP-FAST AUTHENTICATION

To conﬁgure a Zebra mobile printer for EAP-FAST authentic-

aion you must have Label Vista, Zebra’s label creation program

and a communications application such as HyperTerminal

installed on your computer.

NOTE: Label Vista can be downloaded from:

http://www.zebra.com

You will also need a serial communications cable to connect

your computer and the mobile printer. Refer to the following

table for serial download cable part numbers:

Model Serial Cable p/n

QL 220/220 Plus

BL16555-1 or

BL17757-000

QL 320/320 Plus

QL 420/420 Plus

RW 220

BL17205-1

RW 420

Connect the printer to a PC and run Label Vista. Match the

com port setting to the printer (refer to the printer’s 2-key self

test for settings) using the Printer/Com Port Setup dialog box.

Send the “zebra.pac” ﬁle by selecting Printer/Send File and

make sure to check the “Store to ﬂash ﬁle system” option.
