6.8 Configuring RADIUS

A RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In user Service) server enables user authentication,
authorization and accounting. Use RADIUS if you want to authenticate users using an external
server.
The RADIUS screen allows you to specify the authentication and accounting servers and to
enable and disable them.

DESCRIPTION
Choose WPA2-PSK in this field.
Check this box if you want your G-1000 to support WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK at
the same time. This might reduce the performance of the device, however.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA2 and WPA2-PSK are the same. The
only difference between the two is that WPA2-PSK uses a simple common
password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols).
The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA2-
PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA2 key management)
sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA2
equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a
WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the WPA Group Key Update Timer is also
supported in WPA2-PSK mode. The G-1000 default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Click Apply to save your changes back to the G-1000.
