Authentication
Timeout Defines the maximum time (between 30 - 120 seconds) allowed for SSH authentication to
occur before executing a timeout. The minimum permissible value is 30 seconds.
SSH Keepalive Interval The SSH Keepalive Interval defines a period (in seconds) after which if no data has been
received from a client, SSH sends a message through the encrypted channel to request a
response from the client. The default is 0, and no messages will be sent to the client until a
non-zero value is set. Defining a Keepalive interval is important, otherwise programs
running on a server may never notice if the other end of a connection is rebooted.
Local The Mobility 7131 Access Point verifies the authentication connection.
Radius Designates that a Radius server is used in the authentication credential verification. If
using this option, the connected PC is required to have its Radius credentials verified with
an external Radius server. Additionally, the Radius Server’s Active Directory should have a
valid user configured and have a PAP based Remote Access Policy configured for Radius
Admin Authentication to work.
Radius Server IP Specify the numerical (non DNS name) IP address of the Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (Radius) server. Radius is a client/server protocol and software enabling
remote-access servers to communicate with a server used to authenticate users and
authorize access to the requested system or service.
Port Specify the port on which the server is listening. The Radius server typically listens on ports
1812 (default port).
Shared Secret Define a shared secret for authentication on the server. The shared secret is required to be
the same as the shared secret defined on the Radius server. Use shared secrets to verify
Radius messages (with the exception of the Access-Request message) sent by a
Radius-enabled device configured with the same shared secret.
Apply the qualifications of a well-chosen password to the generation of a shared secret.
Generate a random, case-sensitive string using letters and numbers. The default is
admin123.
Change Admin Password Click the Change Admin Password button to display a screen for updating the AP
administrator password. Enter and confirm a new administrator password as
required.
