WiFi 802.1x authentication settings
These settings are not required based on the current Wi-Fi authentication settings. They are only 
configurable when WEP with 802.1x authentication or WPA with 802.1x authentication are 
enabled on the WiFi Security Settings tab. 
 EAP Methods: These are the types of Extensible Authentication Protocols (EAP) or 
outer protocols that are allowed to establish the initial connection with an authentication 
server or access point. These are used with WEP with 802.1x authentication and WPA 
with 802.1x authentication. 
– PEAP: Stands for “Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol.” A username and 
password must be specified to use PEAP. 
– TLS: Stands for “Transport Layer Security.” A client certificate and private key must be 
installed in order to use TLS. 
– TTLS: Stands for “Tunneled Transport Layer Security.” A username and password 
must be specified to use TTLS. 
 PEAP/TTLS Tunneled Authentication Protocols: These are the types of inner 
protocols that can be used within the encrypted connection established by PEAP or 
TTLS. 
These Extensible Authentication Protocols (EAP) can be used with PEAP or TTLS. 
– GTC: Generic Token Card 
– MD5: Message Digest Algorithm. 
– MSCHAPv2: Microsoft Challenge response Protocol version 2. 
– OTP: One Time Password
