Configuring the 802.1x Security Parameters

58
When you install the 2435 in a network, you need to configure the
network parameters that control how the terminal communicates in the
network.
The set of network parameters you need to configure depends on whether
you install the terminal on the same subnetwork as the DCS 30X or host
(TCP/IP) or on a different subnetwork.
You need to configure:
• Network Activate. If you are operating the 2435 in a WTP network,
you only need to configure the Network Activate parameter.
• (UDP Plus) Controller IP Address.
• (TCP/IP) Host IP Address.
• Terminal IP Address (Non-DHCP environment only).
• Network Port.
• Default Router (Intermec Gateway, DCS 30X, or host on different
subnetwork).
• Subnet Mask (Intermec Gateway, DCS 30X, or host on different
subnetwork).
For help understanding these parameters and their syntax, see Chapter 6,
"Configuration Command Reference," in the 2400 Family system manual.
For more information about network connectivity and protocols, see
"About Network Connectivity and Protocols" in Chapter 1 of the 2400
Family system manual.
Trakker Antares terminals with the 802.1x security option can operate in a
protected network that provides secure data transmission. Authentication
and authorization is provided using one of these Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) types:
• Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS) is a standards-based
authentication type with multiple vendor support.
• Lightweight Extensible Access Protocol (LEAP) is Cisco's proprietary
authentication type.
This section describes how to configure both 802.1x TTLS and LEAP
security. It also describes how the BASEDATE.TXT file is used.

Learning About BASEDATE.TXT

During authentication, TTLS security uses the date that is set on your
Trakker Antares terminal to make sure that the terminal falls within the
valid date range of the certificate received from the authentication server.
Your terminal uses the BASEDATE.TXT file to set the current date.
