Configuring Advanced Network Connectivity

About this task
This section describes how to determine which of the two network ports is the first choice to
communicate on a call, and to configure advanced properties of the network connections in each
network port, including the network speed and packet size (MTU). To avoid connectivity issues,
match these settings to the equivalent settings in the network.
In addition, if your large network is split into virtual sub-networks to limit the range of broadcasts,
known as VLANs, and your network components support 802.1q compliant VLAN tagging, you
can assign a VLAN ID to tag the XT Series as belonging to a specific VLAN.
You can also configure network security authentication to be 802.1x compliant, where it sends a
username and password to your 802.1x authenticator, which verifies the login with the
authentication server. 802.1x is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
standard that provides an authentication framework for WLANs. 802.1x uses the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) to exchange messages during the authentication process. Several
authentication protocols that operate inside the 802.1x framework are suitable for wireless
networks. These protocols allow the network to authenticate the client while also allowing the
client to authenticate the network. In this release, the XT Series supports EAP-TLS (EAP
Transport Layer Security, authentication based on certificates) in addition to EAP-MD5
(authentication based on username/password).
To configure the XT Series for 802.1x compliant authentication, you must import or generate
certificates for 802.1x EAP TLS, as described in
802.1x EAP TLS
In some XT Series models, activating the second network port GLAN2

and large enterprises may require both network ports (see
page 39).
Before you begin
If configuring from the endpoint, you must first enable advanced configuration, as described in
Enabling Advanced Maintenance on the XT Series
Procedure
1. To assign a preferred network port, access the network priority settings. From the XT
Series web interface, select Administrator Settings > Networks > Preferences >
General. From the endpoint's main menu, select Configure > Advanced > Networks >
Preferences > General.
