Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a logon authentication
protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to
RADIUS-compliant devices on the network. It allows a wireless access point to
send the connection parameters to a RADIUS server. Enter the required
parameters as shown on the screen, which includes the RADIUS server IP
address, controlled port number, per-client unicast session key, timeout value (in
seconds), and retransmit attempts number.
