ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 Note: On the Edit Profile (Basic) or Edit Profile (Group-X) screen, for any selection from the Network Authentication menu that requires a RADIUS server, authentication is not restricted to a RADIUS server; you can also use an internal authentication server or an external LDAP server. Note: You can configure either MAC authentication with an external RADIUS server or network authentication with an external RADIUS server, but not both. That is, if you configure external MAC authentication, you cannot use an external RADIUS server with WPA, WPA2, or WPA & WPA2. Table 7.
