You can set up Webex Share with a Wi-Fi connection or an Ethernet connection. For Ethernet, you have the option of a Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a separate power adapter.
If your organization uses enhanced security, you can generate and manage certificates to complete authentication of a new device with your corporate network.
Deploy your Webex Share with Wi-Fi if you do not want cables in your office. Webex Share supports the following authentication protocols:
-
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS)—Doesn't require username and password authentication. EAP-TLS requires certificate authentication and validation. Certificates require authentication on both the client and server, as well as a public and a private key.
-
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST)—Requires username and password authentication.
-
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol - Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2 (PEAP-MS-CHAP-v2)—Requires username and password authentication.
-
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol - Generic Token Card (PEAP-GTC)—Requires username and password authentication.
Also you can select Automatic which detects the available authentication methods and chooses one in the following order:
-
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) methods (see the preceding list)
-
Wireless Private Key (WPK)—Requires shared passphrases for authentication
-
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)—Requires shared passphrases for authentication
-
OPEN—No authentication
