Databases database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external server.
Use this drop-down list box to select which database the Prestige should use (first) to
authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding database
correctly first.
Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user
database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the specified
RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database on
the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is not
found, the Prestige then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database on
the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If the
Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Prestige then checks the local user
database on the Prestige. When the user name is not found or password does not
match in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will not check the local user database and the
authentication fails.

Local User Database

By storing user profiles locally on the ZyXEL device, the ZyXEL device is able to authenticate VPN extended
authentication clients or wireless clients without interacting with a network RADIUS server. However, there is a
limit on the number of users you may authenticate in this way.
