5-2. IEEE802.1X Authentication
BR-500AC supports the IEEE802.1X authentication.
To use the IEEE802.1X authentication, a RADIUS server is needed.
When using the authentication method that requires a certificate, get the necessary
certificate issued by the certificate authority and import it to the BR-500AC.
To use this function, register the MAC address of non-wireless device with BR-500AC. The
reliability of non-wireless devices connected to BR-500AC is identified using the MAC
address filtering.
Network Configuration
Connect the BR-500AC to a network as below when you use the IEEE802.1X authentication.
The RADIUS server identifies the reliability of BR-500AC as an authentication host, while BR-
500AC identifies the reliability of RADIUS server as an authentication client to identify the
reliability of the network to connect to.
- IEEE802.1X authentication is supported only for wireless network.
