You can setup or modify the RADIUS Server settings to compliment Network Authentication
security options. The RADIUS Server must be used with Legacy 802.1x, and can be used with
WPA and WPA2 Network Authentication. When using a RADIUS Server, the RADIUS Server
settings must be configured before completing the Network Authentication security profile (see
"Configuring WPA with RADIUS" on page
page 2-32, or "Configuring WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS" on page 2-33
implementing these security options).
Note: The RADIUS Server Settings apply to all profiles. They only need to be configured
once per wireless access point.
To set up or modify the RADIUS Server Settings:
1. From your web browser, log in to the WAG102 as described in

screen will display.
