Page 11: About This Guide
Dell Instant consists of an Instant Access Point (IAP) and a Virtual Controller (VC). The Virtual Controller resides within one of the access points. In a Dell Instant deployment only the first IAP needs to be configured. After the first IAP is deployed, the subsequent IAPs will inherit all the required information from the Virtual Controller.

NOTE: A NAS acts as a gateway to guard access to a protected resource. A client connecting to the wireless network first connects to the NAS. The Dell Instant network supports internal RADIUS server and external RADIUS server for 802.1x authentication.
Page 110: External Radius Server
LEAP— Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) uses dynamic WEP keys for authentication  between the client and authentication server.

MAC authentication can be used alone, but typically it is combined with other forms of authentication, such as WEP authentication. Because MAC addresses are easily observed during transmission and easily changed on the client, this form of authentication should be considered nothing more than a minor hurdle. Dell recommends against the use of MAC-based authentication.

Client Blacklisting The client blacklisting denies connectivity to the blacklisted clients. When a client is blacklisted in a Dell IAP, the client is not allowed to associate with the IAP in the network. If a client is connected to the network when it is blacklisted, a deauthentication message will be send to force the client to disconnect.
