  • Page 85 Appendix B Authentication Authentication starts when a radio LAN station connects to the access point. When the station connects, the access point issues a request to start authentica- tion for that station. Although the station that has received the request starts the authentication procedure, the access point transfers all messages related to the authentication to the RADIUS server.
