Fast Roaming IEEE 802.11r fast roaming, which is also known as Fast BSS Transition (FT), allows wireless clients
Settings to quickly move from one AP to another in a WiFi network that uses WPA2 with 802.1x
authentication. Information from the original association is passed to the target AP when the
client roams. The client doesn't need to perform the whole 802.1x authentication process.
Messages exchanged between the target AP and client are reduced and performed using
one of the two methods:
•
•
802.11r Select this to turn on IEEE 802.11r fast roaming on the AP (Zyxel Device). This is good for
wireless clients that transport a lot of real-time interactive traffic, such as voice and video.
Wireless clients should also support WPA2 and fast roaming to associate with the AP (Zyxel
Device) and roam seamlessly.
Radius Server Type Select Internal to use the Zyxel Device's internal authentication database, or External to use
an external RADIUS server for authentication.
Primary / Secondary Select this to have the Zyxel Device use the specified RADIUS server.

Accounting Share Enter a password (up to 128 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared between the
Secret external accounting server and the AP. The key must be the same on the external
accounting server and your AP. The key is not sent over the network.
Accounting Interim This field is available only when you enable user accounting through an external accounting
Update server.
Select this to have the AP send accounting update messages to the accounting server at
the interval you specify.
Interim Interval Specify the time interval for how often the AP is to send an interim update message with
current client statistics to the accounting server.
MAC Authentication Select this to use an external server or the Zyxel Device's local database to authenticate
wireless clients by their MAC addresses. Users cannot get an IP address if the MAC
authentication fails.
An external server can use the wireless client's account (username/password) or Calling
Station ID for MAC authentication. Configure the ones the external server uses.
Delimiter Select the separator the external server uses for the two-character pairs within account
(Account)
MAC addresses.

Over-the-DS: The wireless client communicates with the target AP via the current AP. The
communication is sent to the target AP through the wired Ethernet connection.
Over-the-Air: The wireless client communicates directly with the target AP.
