EAP-TLS Authentication Mode

Encryption methods: TKIP, AES, TKIP/AES are supported. All of these methods require specifying several PEM files,
which are created by the user's local system administrator and contain certificate information.
These certificates are used to encrypt the communication between the Wi-Fi Access Point and the reader.
The following certificates are required:
Client's certificate. This must be different for each reader. It may be publicly accessible (for example, on a
l
company webpage).
CA's certificate (CA = Certificate Authority). One such file is created for each authentication server within the
l
company. It can be publicly accessible.
Client's private key. This must be different for each reader. It must not be publicly accessible, and must be stored
l
and handled confidentially.

Uploading a Certificate File to DataMan

You can upload these files in the DataMan Setup Tool one by one: click the folder button beside the fields and select the
appropriate file to upload it to the device.
A short message shows if a certificate is specified. The text "<not set>" appears in the field if there is no key or certificate
specified.
