Field Description
RADIUS Key Enter the RADIUS key in the text box.
The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to
63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must
configure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be
displayed as "*" characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type.
RADIUS Key 1 – 3 Enter the RADIUS key associated with the configured backup RADIUS servers. The server
at RADIUS IP Address‐1 uses RADIUS Key‐1, RADIUS IP Address‐2 uses RADIUS Key‐2, and
so on.
Enable RADIUS Select this option to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed
Accounting such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on.
If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all
backup servers.
Enable RADIUS Select this option to allow the secondary RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients
FailThrough if the authentication with the primary RADIUS server is unsuccessful, or if the primary
RADIUS server is unavailable.
Radio Select the radio to configure. VAPs are configured independently on each radio.
Note: The DWL‐3600AP supports only one radio.
VAP You can configure up to 16 VAPs for each radio. VAP0 is the physical radio interface, so to
disable VAP0, you must disable the radio.
Enabled You can enable or disable a configured network.
• To enable the specified network, select the Enabled option beside the appropriate
• To disable the specified network, clear the Enabled option beside the appropriate
If you disable the specified network, you will lose the VLAN ID you entered.
VLAN ID When a wireless client connects to the AP by using this VAP, the AP tags all traffic from
the wireless client with the VLAN ID you enter in this field unless you enter the untagged
VLAN ID or use a RADIUS server to assign a wireless client to a VLAN. The range for the
VLAN ID is 1 – 4 094.
If you use RADIUS‐based authentication for clients, you can optionally add the following
attributes to the appropriate file in the RADIUS or AAA server to configure a VLAN for the
client:
• "Tunnel‐Type"
• "Tunnel‐Medium‐Type"
• "Tunnel‐Private‐Group‐ID"
The RADIUS‐assigned VLAN ID overrides the VLAN ID you configure on the VAP page.
You configure the untagged and management VLAN IDs on the Ethernet Settings page.
For more information, see "Ethernet Settings" on page 51.
SSID Enter a name for the wireless network. The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32
characters. You can use the same SSID for multiple VAPs, or you can choose a unique SSID
for each VAP.
Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that you are administering,
resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity to the AP. You will need to reconnect
to the new SSID after you save this new setting.
