Authentication-

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is selected.

802.1x

Lifetime-

Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and authenticates users onto

the wireless network. WPA uses stronger security than WEP

and is based on a key that changes automatically at a regular

interval.This mode requires the inclusion of a RADIUS server in

your network.

802.1x Authentication is a first line of defense against intrusion.

In the Authentication process the server verifies the identity of

the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar cli-

ents are denied access.

Select 5, 15, 30 minutes, or 1 or 8 hours, or 1 day for the authen-

tication period. After this period expires, a new key will auto-

matically be generated.

Radius Server 1-

IP - Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS server.

Port - Enter the port number that your RADIUS server uses for

Authentication. The default setting of 1812 is the port setting for

many RADIUS servers.

Shared Secret - Enter the Shared Secret. The Shared Secret

must be the same as the Shared Secret on your RADIUS server.

Radius Server 2-

Optional. If you have a second RADIUS server, you will

input the same information as shown above.
