182

To enable the EAS

1. Log in to the access point whose EAS you are enabling.

2. From the Main Menu, select Security then Embedded

Authentication Server. The Embedded Authentication Server
screen appears.

3. Check Enable Server.

4. Select Submit Changes.

5. (Optional) In the Default Secret Key field, enter a default secret key

that is used between the EAS and all access points. This secret key can
be from 1 to 32 characters in ASCII or in hexadecimal. To enter a
hexadecimal key, it must start with 0x.

6. In the UDP Port field, enter the UDP port number on which the EAS

listens. Port number assignments are administered by the Internet
Assigned Number Authority (IANA). If you change this value you
should choose a number between 49152 and 65535.

7. In the Authorization Time field, enter the amount of time that RADIUS

clients (access points) remain authorized by the server before they
need to be reauthorized. The format is d:hh:mm, where d is days, hh
is hours, and mm is minutes.
