mac access control via radius

If you want to control wireless access to the network and if your network includes a RADIUS Server, you can store the list of

MAC addresses on the RADIUS server rather than configure each WL520 individually. From the RADIUS Authentication tab,

you can define the IP Address of the server that contains a central list of MAC Address values that identify the authorized

stations that may access the wireless network. You must specify information for at least the Primary RADIUS server. The Backup

RADIUS server is optional.

NOTE:

Problems with RADIUS Server configuration or RADIUS Authentication should be referred to the RADIUS Server

developer.
