Authentication-	WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is selected.
	Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and authenticates users onto
	the wireless network. WPA uses stronger security than WEP
	and is based on a key that changes automatically at a regular
	interval.This mode requires the inclusion of a RADIUS server in
	your network.
802.1x	802.1x Authentication is a first line of defense against intrusion.
	In the Authentication process the server verifies the identity of
	the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar cli-
	ents are denied access.
Lifetime-	Select 5, 15, 30 minutes, or 1 or 8 hours, or 1 day for the authen-
	tication period. After this period expires, a new key will auto-
	matically be generated.
Radius Server 1-	IP - Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS server.
	Port - Enter the port number that your RADIUS server uses for
	Authentication. The default setting of 1812 is the port setting for
	many RADIUS servers.
	Shared Secret - Enter the Shared Secret. The Shared Secret
	must be the same as the Shared Secret on your RADIUS server.
Radius Server 2- Optional. If you have a second RADIUS server, you will
	input the same information as shown above.	14
