Network Authentication
Network Authentication: Disabled by default. If the local network
has an authentication server such as Radius server, the user can
enable this function by choosing either 802.1X or WPA. This option
fulfills the security that an enterprise needs. If the local network
does not have an authentication server, it’s recommended to use
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key). This option is commonly used in
small office home office (SOHO) environments.
WPA Pre-Shared Key: If WPA-PSK is the network authentication
option, enter a secret key. Check the table below for instructions
when entering the key.
Format Minimum Characters Maximum Characters

done automatically between the server and the client.
Radius Server: For 802.1X and WPA only. Enter the IP Address of
the authentication server, commonly the Radius server.
Radius Port: Enter the port number of the authentication server.
The default port number is 1812.
Radius Key: Enter the same key as the Radius server’s.
