RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the
wireless client and the network RADIUS server.
You should know the IP addresses, ports and share secrets of the external RADIUS server and/
or the external RADIUS accounting server you want to use with your ZyXEL Device. You can
configure a primary and backup RADIUS and RADIUS accounting server for your ZyXEL
Device.

Backup If the ZyXEL Device cannot communicate with the Primary accounting server,
you can have the ZyXEL Device use a Backup RADIUS server. Make sure
the Active check boxes are selected if you want to use backup servers.
The ZyXEL Device will attempt to communicate three times before using the
Backup servers. Requests can be issued from the client interface to use the
backup server. The length of time for each authentication is decided by the
wireless client or based on the configuration of the ReAuthentication Timer
field in the Security Settings screen.
