Have they talked about how they are going to power the Wi-Fi locks? There are 
several options, battery, external low voltage power and PoE. At Syracuse we 
have a mixture of all three with the external low voltage power being the most 
common. PoE has been discussed and in a few places installed, but no one 
(including me) wants to own the cable going through the door and door frame. 😊 
While they have PoE rated hinges they are triple the cost and the support from 
the vendors has been less than desirable.

Same locks. We started on dedicated 802.1X SSID, then moved them to main SSID 
(is not eduroam here) using VLAN steering to get them into their own private IP 
space. They seem to handle PEAP with MS-CHAPv2 quite nicely. No idea on TLS.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] How does your enterprise do your wireless door locks?

Sending out a question as to how you do your wifi that serves your wireless 
door locks.  Do you have them on your branded wifi/eduroam, their own SSID, or 
a shared IoT or infrastructure SSID?  Is it a hidden SSID?  Do you have them 
using a simple PSK or do you onboard it with a tool like ISE or Clearpass.  Do 
you install a cert?

Our institution has purchased Assa Abloy model IN120 door locks.  We are a 
Cisco shop and we have ISE, so we could easily onboard using their Mac Address 
Bypass device profiling, but that would consume an expensive license, so 
perhaps other folks have done something simpler and found it to work well and 
to be enough security/segmentation.

Thanks!--JW
