Select one of the following from the drop-down menu:
• To use the authentication server provided with the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway, ensure the check-
box beside the Use internal radius server field is selected. If this option is selected, you do not
have to provide the Radius IP and Radius Key; they are automatically provided. If the option for the
internal RADIUS server is enabled, configure user accounts on the AP via the Cluster > User Man-

server field is deselected. If you deselect this checkbox, you must supply a Radius IP and Radius

This value is never sent over the network.
Click the checkbox beside "Enable radius accounting" if you want to track and measure the resources a partic-
ular user has consumed such system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on.
