• Accounting which keeps track of the client's network activity.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the
wireless client and the network RADIUS server.
You should know the IP addresses, ports and share secrets of the external RADIUS server and/or
the external RADIUS accounting server you want to use with your NWA. You can configure a
primary and backup RADIUS and RADIUS accounting server for your NWA.

Configure the fields below to set up user authentication and accounting.
If the NWA cannot communicate with the Primary accounting server, you
can have the NWA use a Backup RADIUS server. Make sure the Active
check boxes are selected if you want to use backup servers.
The NWA will attempt to communicate three times before using the Backup
servers. Requests can be issued from the client interface to use the backup
server. The length of time for each authentication is decided by the wireless
client or based on the configuration of the ReAuthentication Timer field in
the Security Settings screen.
