RADIUS
For authentication to work, the client's transmission must go through the Router,
and reach the back-end server that performs the actual authentication. The
wireless client contacts the access point, which in turn communicates with the
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server. The RADIUS
server verifies the client's credentials to determine whether the device is author-
ized to connect to the LAN. If the RADIUS server accepts the client, the server
responds by exchanging data with the Router, including security keys for sub-
sequent encrypted sessions.
To configure the RADIUS authentication mechanism, perform the following
steps:
1.
Click the 'RADIUS' icon in the 'Advanced' screen of the Web based Man-
agement. The RADIUS screen will appear.
2.

-

-
