FIELD

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

Authentication

The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The

 

Databases

local user database is the built-in database on the G-1000 v2. The RADIUS is

 

 

an external server. Use this field to decide which database the G-1000 v2

 

 

should use (first) to authenticate a wireless station.

 

 

Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding

 

 

database correctly first.

 

 

When you configure Key Management Protocol to WPA, the Authentication

 

 

Databases must be RADIUS Only. You can only use the Local User

 

 

Database with 802.1x Key Management Protocol.

 

 

Select Local User Database Only to have the G-1000 v2 just check the built-in

 

 

user database on the G-1000 v2 for a wireless station's username and

 

 

password.

 

 

Select RADIUS Only to have the G-1000 v2 just check the user database on

 

 

the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.

 

 

Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the G-1000 v2 first check the user

 

 

database on the G-1000 v2 for a wireless station's username and password. If

 

 

the user name is not found, the G-1000 v2 then checks the user database on

 

 

the specified RADIUS server.

 

 

Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the G-1000 v2 first check the user

 

 

database on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and

 

 

password. If the G-1000 v2 cannot reach the RADIUS server, the G-1000 v2

 

 

then checks the local user database on the G-1000 v2. When the user name is

 

 

not found or password does not match in the RADIUS server, the G-1000 v2

 

 

will not check the local user database and the authentication fails.

 

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.

Once you enable user authentication, you need to specify an external RADIUS server or create local user accounts on the G-1000 v2 for authentication
