In AX-3.8, the IEE8021X Platform Service is an available platform service on a JACE station, providing that the JACE host has the platIEEE8021X module installed and is licensed with the “ieee8021x” feature.

IEEE 802.1X support is available only for QNX-based “Hotspot” JACEs (JACE-3,-6,-7 series) using AX-3.8.

This service provides a station interface to configure the host platform (JACE) to be able to join a wired IEEE 802.1X-authenticated network. The service’s default view, IEEE 8021X Platform Service Plugin, is identical to the platform view IEEE 802.1X Configuration, with separate tabs for each of the two Ethernet adapters on the JACE controller (en0 for LAN1, en1 for LAN2).

A property sheet view also provides access to additional properties for the two adapters. For complete details, refer to the Engineering Notes 3.8 document NiagaraAX IEEE 802.1X Configuration.
