13.3 Trusted AP Overview

A trusted AP is an AP that uses the ZyXEL Device's internal RADIUS server to authenticate
its wireless clients. Each wireless client must have a user name and password configured in the
AUTH. SERVER > Trusted Users screen.
The following figure shows how this is done in two phases.
