ADSL Router User Manual
For 802.1X Wireless Network
When a wireless client requests access to a network, it is required to be authenticated by a central
authentication server (RADIUS Server). Only an authenticated user can be granted by the network
access and thereby unauthorized is blocked.
Wireless Security:
Choose 802.1x as the authentication
protocol, your data transmission between the
router and the clients will be protected with
the settings that you set in this web page.
RADIUS Server IP Address:
RADIUS Server is a protocol for carrying
authentication, authorization, and
configuration information between a
Network Access Server which desires to
authenticate its links and a shared
Authentication Server. Please type in the IP
Address for the RADIUS Server.
RADIUS UDP Port:
Except for the IP address of the RADIUS
Server, you have to enter the port number for
the server. Port 1812 is the reserved
RADIUS-authentication port described in
RFC 2138. Earlier AP (RADIUS clients) use
port 1945. The default value will be shown
on this box. You can keep and use it.
RADIUS Share Secret:
A share secret is like a password, which is
used between RADIUS Server and the
specific AP (RADIUS client) to verify
identity. Both RADIUS Server and the AP
(RADIUS client) must be use the same
shared secret for successful communication
to occur. Type in the words for the share
secret.
After finished settings, click Apply for
activation.
