The MAC Authentication tab allows you to build a list of stations, identified by their MAC addresses, authorized to access the
WL520 device within your network. The list is stored inside each WL520 within your network.

The WL520 provides two methods for authenticating wireless clients using a RADIUS Server: MAC Access Control (described
below) and

The WL520 supports additional RADIUS features. See

If you want to control wireless access to the network and if your network includes a RADIUS Server, you can store the list of
MAC addresses on the RADIUS server rather than configure each WL520 individually. From the RADIUS Authentication tab,
you can define the IP Address of the server that contains a central list of MAC Address values that identify the authorized
stations that may access the wireless network. You must specify information for at least the Primary RADIUS server. The Backup
RADIUS server is optional.
NOTE:
Problems with RADIUS Server configuration or RADIUS Authentication should be referred to the RADIUS Server
developer.
