Loading Certificates

This file describes how to load the certificate for the for the WLAN 
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mode.  For EAP-TLS, the printer 
requires three files,  These files are the Certificate Authority (CA) file, 
a certificate file and a key file.  For EAP-PEAP, the user can choose 
to load CA file. These files should be generated by the System Administator.  

To load these files to the printer, see the description below. 

NOTE: 	Certificates can only be loaded if the WLAN Option is installed. 

NOTE: 	For the certificates to work correctly, the Real Time Clock (RTC) must 
        be set. This can be done by setting the menus in section Network > Date .

        Unzip the file and get the utility file bdcert.bat. 
 
2.      Unzip the file and you will find a Linux version (bdcert.lnx), 
        Windows version (bdcert.bat), and README.TXT file.

3.      The Windows version bdcert.bat can either be run from a command line
        or by double clicking on the file.

4.      When run bdcert.bat will request the file name of the certificate 
        authority file, the certificate file, the private key file, and the
        name of the output file to be generated.

5.      If only the certificate authority file is entered, the utility will
        ask the user if there are more files to process (e.g., certificate
        filename or private key filename). Answer either No or Yes 
        depending on the requirements.
