Admin Password¶

Wi-Fi Enterprise¶

Upload a digital certificate.

Which method should you choose?¶

WPA2 EAP-MSCHAPv2 (also known as PEAP-MSCHAPv2)¶

• ✅ Upload: Only the file CA.pem
• ❌ No client certificate or private key required
• 🔑 Authentication: Via username and password
• 🔐 Purpose of CA.pem:
  It is used to verify the certificate of the RADIUS server, so the device only accepts trusted servers.

✳️ In the EZCast menu, you must also enter a username and password.
The CA.pem file only protects you from accidentally connecting to a fake server.

WPA2 EAP-TLS (Certificate-based Authentication)¶

• ✅ Three files are required:
• CA.pem – Trusts the server certificate
• Certificate.pem – Identifies the device

• Privatekey.pem – The corresponding private key for the certificate

• ❌ No username or password required

• 🔐 Authentication: Is performed through mutual verification of certificates

• ✳️ All three files must match:
  The client certificate (Certificate.pem) must be signed by the CA (CA.pem),
  and the private key (Privatekey.pem) must belong to the certificate.

Host Permissions¶

Control which advanced settings functions hosts can access without admin login.

Example: Disabling Device Management hides settings button in software/app.

Above configuration (disabled device/network management) only shows Conference Control and Restart. Note: Connected Devices and About Device always remain available.

Host Control¶

First connecting user becomes host, others are guests. By default, host must approve each transmission request:

Auto Approve Requests
Set On for automatic approval.

Screen Sharing
Enabled by default (split-screen for up to 4 devices). Disabled = full-screen takeover by next approved sender.

Host control status appears at bottom of home screen:
