1.8.6.5 Configuring RADIUS Settings
The RADIUS client on the SMCWHSG44-G works in conjunction with the Web redirection component and IEEE 802.1x component for wireless user authen- tication. The Web redirection and IEEE 802.1x components are responsible for acquiring user credential information, and the RADIUS client communi- cates with a back-end RADIUS server using the user credential information.
Go to the AAA\RADIUS section (see section 2.6.2), and then configure the RADIUS settings. You have to configure at least Authentication method, Primary RADIUS server, Shared key, and Identifier of the NAS settings. Leave other settings to their default values. Click Save & Restart when finished.

NOTE: When configured for EAP authentication, the RADIUS server supports either EAP-TLS or EAP-MD5, but not both at the same time. As a result, not all combinations of EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, PAP and CHAP authentication methods are available if both IEEE 802.1x and Web redirection are enabled. The following table shows the allowable IEEE 802.1x and Web redirection authentication modes on the Wireless Advanced edition of Wireless Hotspot Gateway.
