RADIUS
(Access
Point
Mode
Only)
Remote
Authentication
Dial
In
User
Service
(RADIUS)
authentication
is
only
available
when
the
EOA7530
is
configured
for
Access
Point
Mode.
Use
this
feature
if
you
have
a
RADIUS
server.
WPA(TKIP),
WPA2(AES),
and
WPA2
Mixed
encryption
types
are
also
supported.
The
following
figure
shows
an
example
of
a
RADIUS
configuration,
where
two
EOA7530
devices
installed
at
different
locations
communicate
with
each
other
wirelessly.
In
this
configuration,
one
EOA7530
is
configured
for
Access
Point
Mode
and
connected
to
a
RADIUS
server
via
a
switch,
while
the
other
EOA7530
is
configured
for
Client
Bridge
Mode.
The
RADIUS
server
uses
an
authentication
scheme
such
as
PAP
or
CHAP
to
verify
a
user's
identification,
along
with,
optionally,
other
information
related
to
the
request,
such
as
the
user's
network
address
or
phone
number,
account
status
and
specific
network
service
access
privileges.
The
RADIUS
server
then
returns
one
of
three
responses
to
the
EOA7530
:
Access
Reject
(user
is
denied
access
to
all
requested
network
resources),
Access
Challenge
(requests
additional
information
from
the
user
such
as
a
secondary
password),
PIN,
token
or
card),
or
Access
Accept
(user
is
granted
access).
The
sections
that
follow
the
figure
below
describe
how
to
configure
your
EOA7530
for
use
in
a
RADIUS
environment.
