CONFIGURING THE ACCESS POINT FOR WPA EAP-TTLS

AUTHENTICATION

WPA increases security further by using TKIP (Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol) as an encryption scheme instead of WEP. All

the access point settings are the same as described previously

for standard EAP-TTLS except for the changes below

• Set the access point to use a cipher as the encryption mode, and

select TKIP as the cipher type.

• Conﬁgure the Authenticated key Management to be mandatory

using WPA.

• The WPA Pre-shared key should be set to ASCII.

CONFIGURING THE PRINTER FOR WPA EAP-TTLS AUTHENTICATION

Conﬁgure the Zebra mobile printer for WPA EAP-TTLS au-

thentication type by typing the following command strings.

Terminate them with carriage returns. The ﬁelds in blue will be

unique to your network and printer.

If you previously conﬁgured your printer for standard

EAP-TTLS, only the lines in red need to be typed in:

! U1 setvar “wlan.essid” “MyESSID”

! U1 setvar “wlan.wpa.authentication” “ttls”

! U1 setvar “wlan.8021x.eap.username” “MyUsername”

! U1 setvar “wlan.8021x.eap.password” “MyPassword”

! U1 setvar “wlan.wpa.enable” “on”

At this point you are done with the conﬁguration of the printer.

Turn the printer off and then back on to initialize all the settings

for the radio. If your printer has an LCD display you should see

the security connection messages for a couple of seconds prior

to the regular menu appearing.
