LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Authentication	This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Databases	Port Control field.
	The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local user
	database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external server.
	Use this drop-down list box to select which database the Prestige should use (first) to
	authenticate a wireless station.
	Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
	database(s) correctly.
	Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user
	database on the Prestige for a wireless station's user name and password.
	Select RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the
	specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's user name and password.
	Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database on
	the Prestige for a wireless station's user name and password. If the user name is not
	found, the Prestige checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.
	Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database on
	the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's user name and password. When
	the user name is not found or password does not match in the RADIUS server, the
	Prestige will not check the local user database and the authentication fails. If the
	Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, then the Prestige checks the local user
	database on the Prestige.
Back	Click Back to go to the main wireless LAN setup screen.
Apply	Click Apply to save these settings back to the Prestige.

To change your Prestige’s local user database, click Wireless LAN, Local User Database. The screen appears as shown.
