DESCRIPTION

Security Mode

Select WPA from the drop-down list.

 

 

WPA/RADIUS

 

 

 

Rekey Interval

This is the rate at which the RADIUS server sends a new group key out to all

 

clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically changing the

 

WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. Enter a time

 

interval between 0 and 3600 seconds.

 

 

RADIUS

The NXC-8160 can use an external RADIUS server to authenticate an unlimited

 

number of users.

 

 

RADIUS Server

Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal

IP Address

notation.

 

 

RADIUS Server

The default port of the RADIUS server for authentication is 1812.

Port

You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to

 

do so with additional information.

 

 

Share Secret

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

 

between the external authentication server and the NXC-8160.

 

The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external

 

authentication server and NXC-8160.
