Radio Configuration / Diagnostic Utility RLX-IH ♦ 802.11b
Industrial Hotspot

April 10, 2007
NOTE: Clients often support more than one WEP key. Packets received can
be decrypted using any one of the keys if programmed, but packets are always
transmitted with the "default" WEP key number. If you set a transmit key
number on the RLX-IH, make sure all other radios and clients have this key
programmed. To set keys other than key 1 on some clients using Windows,
you might have to use the Advanced settings.
Programming more than one key on the RLX-IH requires setting the key number
to the key you want to program, entering the key, and saving your changes.
Repeat these steps for each key you want to program, saving after each one;
finally, change to the desired transmit key number if necessary and save again.
(If "****" remains in the key field, the previously programmed key will not be
changed when changes are applied.)
4.3.4 RADIUS server
The 802.11i standard allows the use of a RADIUS (remote access dial-in server)
to manage encryption keys and control which radios are allowed to access the
network. To use this server instead of manually entering WPA phrases or WEP
keys, click the Get Keys from RADIUS Server button. The radio first associates
with the access point, and then is granted access only to the radius server. If the
radio and server successfully authenticate each other, the radius server sends a
master key to the access point, which negotiates a session key with the radio.
After authentication, the radio is connected to the network.
Field Description
Server IP
If you use the RADIUS server, enter the IP address for the server in

If you use the RADIUS server, you must enter a secret code
(password) in this field that matches the server's secret code.
