Corporate networks usually authenticate the device rather than accept a shared password. ScreenlyOS supports that on both Wi-Fi and wired ethernet.
What is supported
WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X, on wireless and on wired connections, including alongside a static IP.
The current implementation supports PEAP only. If your network requires a different EAP method, such as EAP-TLS, talk to us before you plan a rollout around it.
How to configure it
802.1X is set up through the on-screen wizard on the player, the same one used for Wi-Fi and static addressing.
- Connect a USB keyboard to the player.
- Press F2.
- Work through the wizard and enter your 802.1X credentials.
If it will not authenticate
Confirm the network is offering PEAP rather than another EAP method. That is the most common reason a player fails on a network where laptops connect without trouble, because a laptop will negotiate a method the player does not implement.
Then check the player is on the right VLAN, and see Diagnostic errors.
