RADIUS Server

RADIUS ser vers allow external authentication of users by means of a remote authentica-
tion database. The remote authentication database is maintained by a Remote Authentica-
tion Dial-In User Ser vice (RADIUS) ser ver. In conjunction with Wireless User Authentication,
you can use a RADIUS ser ver database to authenticate users seeking access to the wire-
less ser vices, as well as the authorized user list maintained locally within the Gateway.

If you click the

RADIUS

link, the RADIUS Ser vers screen appears.

RADIUS Server Addr/Name: The default RADIUS server name or IP address that you
want to use.

RADIUS Server Secret: The RADIUS secret key used by this server. The shared secret
should have the same characteristics as a normal password.

RADIUS Server Port: The port on which the RADIUS server is listening, typically, the
default 1812.

button.

You can also configure alternate RADIUS ser vers from the Wireless Configuration pages.
