WPA with RADIUS

Description
WPA Pre-Shared-Key uses a pre-shared key to perform the authentication and
generate the initial data encryption keys. Then, it dynamically varies the encryption
key. For a full explanation of WPA, see
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is
required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do
include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter
hardware and driver must also support WPA.
User authentication is implemented using RADIUS servers. For a full explanation of
WPA, see "WPA Wireless Security" on page
Authentication/Access Control Radius Server Login Requirements
You will also have to fill in the following Radius server settings:
• Primary Radius Server Name/IP Address
This field is required. Enter the name or IP address of the Radius Server on your
LAN.
• Secondary Radius Server Name/IP Address
This field is optional. Enter the name or IP address of the Secondary Radius
Server on your LAN.
• Radius Port
Enter the port number used for connections to the Radius Server.
• Radius Shared Key
Enter the desired value for the Radius shared key. This key enables the WG302 to
log in to the Radius server and must match the value used on the Radius server.
Radius Accounting Option
The Radius Accounting option can be enabled so that you can track various
information like who connected to the network, when they connected, how long they
were connected, how much network traffic they generated, and so on.
