Configuring the
Access Point as
an
Authenticator
The access point, when acting as an authenticator, receives requests
from end devices that want to communicate with the network and
forwards these requests to the authentication server. It also distributes
the WEP keys to end devices that are communicating with it. Before you
configure the access point as an authenticator, the access point should
be installed and configured to communicate with the wireless end
devices.
To configure the access point as an authenticator, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select Security then 802.1x. The 802.1x screen
as shown in Figure 59 is displayed.

802.1x security then select Submit Changes.
3. Configure the parameters for 802.1x security. The parameters are
described below.
