When IEEE802.1X authentication is installed in your environment, configure settings to use IEEE802.1X authentication on this machine.
Using IEEE802.1X authentication enables you to only connect devices authorized by administrators to the LAN environment. Devices that are not authenticated will not be allowed to even join the network, and this ensures rigid security.
Select [Network] - [IEEE802.1X Authentication Setting] - [IEEE802.1X Authentication Setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.
