Authentication

Wireless clients can be authenticated for network access by checking their MAC address against the local database configured on the access point, or by using a database configured on a central RADIUS server. Alternatively, authentication can be implemented using the IEEE 802.1X network access control protocol.

The access point can also operate in a 802.1X supplicant mode. This enables the access point itself and any bridge-connected units to be authenticated with a RADIUS server using a configured MD5 user name and password. This mechanism can prevent rogue access points from gaining access to the network.
