Chapter 5 Wireless LAN

• A computer with an IEEE 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN adapter and equipped with a web

browser (with JavaScript enabled) and/or Telnet.

• A wireless station computer must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant software. Not all

Windows operating systems support IEEE 802.1x (see the Microsoft web site for details).
For other operating systems, see their documentation. If your operating system does not
support IEEE 802.1x, then you may need to install IEEE 802.1x client software.

• An optional network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and accounting.

Select Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field and 802.1x in the Key
Management Protocol
field to display the next screen.
