Chapter 4: Web Configuration

For 802.1X Wireless Network

When a wireless client requests access to a network, it is required to be authenticated by a central authentication server (RADIUS Server). Only an authenticated user can be granted by the network access and thereby unauthorized is blocked.

WiFi-Protected Access: Choose 802.1x as the authentication protocol, your data transmission between the router and the clients will be protected with the settings that you set in this web page.

RADIUS Server IP Address: RADIUS Server is a protocol for carrying authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a Network Access Server which desires to authenticate its links and a shared Authentication Server. Please type in the IP Address for the RADIUS Server.

RADIUS UDP Port: Except for the IP address of the RADIUS Server, you have to enter the port number for the server. Port 1812 is the reserved RADIUS-authentication port described in RFC 2138. Earlier AP (RADIUS clients) use port 1945. The default value will be shown on this box. You can keep and use it.

RADIUS Share Secret: A share secret is like a password, which is used between RADIUS Server and the specific AP (RADIUS client) to verify identity. Both RADIUS Server and the AP (RADIUS client) must be use the same shared secret for successful communication to occur. Type in the words for the share secret.

Authentication Type:

The ADSL Router supports two authentication types: Open System and Shared key. This should be considered with the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) mechanism.

Data encryption (WEP):

Select the WEP mode for the WEP key function. You can choose 64-bitor 128-bitfor your necessity. If you choose Off, the Encryption Keys will not be shown on this page. If selected, data is encrypted using the
