Before configuring your machine, we recommend writing down your wireless network settings. You will need this information before you continue with the configuration.

  1. Check and record the current wireless network settings.

    TKIP
    EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2 AES
    TKIP
    EAP-FAST/GTC AES
    TKIP
    PEAP/MS-CHAPv2 AES
    TKIP
    PEAP/GTC AES
    TKIP
    EAP-TTLS/CHAP AES
    TKIP
    EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAP AES
    TKIP
    EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAPv2 AES
    TKIP
    EAP-TTLS/PAP AES
    TKIP
    EAP-TLS AES -

    • If you configure your machine using EAP-TLS authentication, you must install the client certificate issued by a CA before you start configuration. Contact your network administrator about the client certificate. If you have installed more than one certificate, we recommend writing down the certificate name you want to use.

    • If you verify your machine using the common name of the server certificate, we recommend writing down the common name before you start configuration. Contact your network administrator about the common name of the server certificate.

  2. Press image[Settings]>[All Settings]>[Network]>[WLAN(Wi-Fi)]>[Find Wi-Fi Network].
