Configure RADIUS Authentication
Click the Configure button, the Security tab, and the Radius Auth sub-tab to set the IP address of the RADIUS
server containing the central list of MAC addresses that are allowed to access the network. The RADIUS
parameters let you enable HTTP or Telnet RADIUS management access to configure a RADIUS Profile for
management access control, to enable or disable local user access, and to configure the local password.
RADIUS authentication is available only for BSUs.
In large networks with multiple units, you can maintain a list of MAC addresses on a centralized location using a
RADIUS authentication server that grants or denies access. If you use this kind of authentication, you must
specify at least the primary RADIUS server. The backup RADIUS server is optional.
Configure Encryption Parameters
Be sure to set the encryption parameters and change the default passwords.
You can protect the wireless data link by using encryption. Encryption keys can be 5 (64-bit), 13 (WEP 128-bit),
or 16 (AES 128-bit) characters in length. Both ends of the wireless data link must use the same parameter
values.
In addition to Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the unit supports Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit encryption. To provide even stronger encryption, the AES CCM Protocol is
also supported.
Click the Configure button, the Security tab, and the Encryption sub-tab to set encryption keys for the data
transmitted and received by the unit. Note that all devices in one network must use the same encryption
parameters to communicate to each other.
