6.12 Wi-Fi settings, Wireless Client

Introduction
Wireless Client mode allows to connect the Base Unit to a network over Wi-Fi instead of via the Ethernet
interface. It brings identical functionality as a wired network connection; complete network integration, auto-
update functionality and central management in XMS. It offers increased flexibility in the placement of the
Base Unit as a network cable drop is no longer required on the installation location.
How to activate Wireless Client
1. Log in to the Configurator.
2. Click Wi-Fi & Network → Wi-Fi Settings.
3. Check the check box below Wireless Client Settings.

About EAP-TLS
EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an EAP method based on certificates which allows mutual
authentication between client and server. It requires a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) to distribute server and
client certificates. For some organizations this might be too big of a hurdle, for those cases EAP-TTLS and
PEAP provide good alternatives. Even though a X.509 client certificate is not strictly required by the standard
it is mandatory in most implementations including for ClickShare. When implemented using client certificates,
EAP-TLS is considered one of the most secure EAP methods. The only minor disadvantage, compared to
PEAP and EAP-TTLS, is that the user identity is transmitted in the clear before the actual TLS handshake is
performed. EAP-TLS is supported via SCEP, INDES or manual certificate upload.
