ZyXEL NWA-3160 Series User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
If the ZyXEL Device cannot communicate with the Primary accounting server,
you can have the ZyXEL Device use a Backup RADIUS server. Make sure
the Active check boxes are selected if you want to use backup servers.
The ZyXEL Device will attempt to communicate three times before using the
Backup servers. Requests can be issued from the client interface to use the
backup server. The length of time for each authentication is decided by the
wireless client or based on the configuration of the ReAuthentication Timer
field in the Security screen.
Select this check box to use the ZyXEL Device's internal authentication
server. The Active, RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS Server Port and
Share Secret fields are not available when you use the internal authentication
server.
Select this check box to use an external authentication server. The ZyXEL
Device does not use the internal authentication server when this check box is
enabled.
Select the check box to enable user authentication through an external
authentication server. This check box is not available when you select
Internal.
Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal
notation. This field is not available when you select Internal.
Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The default port
number is 1812. You need not change this value unless your network
administrator instructs you to do so. This field is not available when you select
Internal.
Enter a password (up to 128 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be
shared between the external authentication server and the ZyXEL Device.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your
ZyXEL Device. The key is not sent over the network. This field is not available
when you select Internal.
Select the check box to enable user accounting through an external
authentication server.
Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal
notation.
Enter the port number of the external accounting server. The default port
number is 1813. You need not change this value unless your network
administrator instructs you to do so with additional information.
Enter a password (up to 128 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be
shared between the external accounting server and the ZyXEL Device. The
