CHAPTER 11 RADIUS Screen 11.1 Overview This chapter describes how you can use the Wireless > RADIUS screen. Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a protocol that can be used to manage user access to large networks. It is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting. The access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. Figure 95 RADIUS Server Setup Authentication In the figure above, wireless clients A and U are trying to access the Internet using the NWA (ZyXEL Device). The NWA in turn queries the RADIUS server if the identity of clients A and U are allowed access to the Internet. In this scenario, only client U's identity is verified by the RADIUS server and allowed access to the Internet. NWA-3160 Series User's Guide 173
