USER GUIDE
• USER AUTHENTICATION: Select ‘on’ or ‘off’ to enable or disable user
authentication. When enabled (on) all users are required to enter a user name and
password to authenticate.
RADIUS Server parameters can be set via this window. If these parameters were previously set
in the WiFi Security screen, then they will automatically be displayed here and do not need to be
reentered. However, if these parameters have not been previously set, in case of a pure
Bluetooth network, the fields will be empty and the RADIUS setting can be set here.
RADIUS is used in the Bluetooth environment to authenticate a user name and password when
USER AUTHENTICATION is set to ‘on’ (described above). There may be a need to use a
different RADIUS server for Bluetooth versus Wi-Fi, depending on the capability of the
RADIUS server being used. The Access/One Network 802.11 Modules communicate with the
RADIUS Server using EAP encapsulation, while the Bluetooth Module requires non-EAP
communications. If both of these settings cannot be supported from the same RADIUS server,
the Bluetooth network will require a different RADIUS server to be used. Any RADIUS Server
entries made on this screen will only be applied to the Bluetooth network settings.
• RADIUS Server: Enter the host name or IP address of the RADIUS Server.
• RADIUS Port: Enter the RADIUS Server port number.
• RADIUS Secret: Enter the RADIUS Server shared secret. The Network Node will use
this shared secret when it forwards authentication credentials to the RADIUS Server.
Click the ‘Update’ button at the bottom of the page to save any changes made to the settings in
this page. Click the ‘Apply Configuration’ tab to make the configuration information active in
the Access/One Network cloud.
