17.5 Technical Reference

This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this chapter.

A trusted AP is an AP that uses the NWA’s internal RADIUS server to authenticate its wireless clients. Each wireless client must have a user name and password configured in the AUTH. SERVER > Trusted Users screen.

The following figure shows how this is done. Wireless clients make access requests to trusted APs, which relay the requests to the NWA.
