8.4 Introduction to RADIUS
RADIUS is based on a client-sever model that supports authentication and accounting, where
the access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles
the following tasks, among others:
• Authentication
Determines the identity of the users.
• Accounting
Keeps track of the client’s network activity.
The ZyXEL Device is equipped with an internal RADIUS server. See
for more details.

authentication server and a backup accounting server. These profiles can be assigned to an
SSID profile in the SSID configuration screen
