To display: [Utility][Administrator Settings][Network Settings][IEEE802.1x Setting]

Configure settings to operate this machine as a supplicant (client to be authenticated) in [Supplicant Setting].

This setting is displayed when [Network I/F Configuration] is set to [Wireless Only]. In a wireless-only environment, if [WPA-EAP(AES)] or [WPA2-EAP(AES)] is selected in [Wireless Network Setting] - [Manual Setting] - [Authentication/Encryption Algorithm], configure the supplicant settings. For details on [Wireless Network Setting], refer to [Wireless Network Setting] .
