LABEL DESCRIPTION
Authentication
Databases
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Port Control field.
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local user
database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external server.
Use this drop-down list box to select which database the Prestige should use (first) to
authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database(s) correctly.
Select
Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user
database on the Prestige for a client's user name and password.
Select
RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a client's user name and password.
Select
Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database on
the Prestige for a client's user name and password. If the user name is not found, the
Prestige checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.
Select
RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database on
the specified RADIUS server for a client's user name and password. When the user
name is not found or password does not match in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will
not check the local user database and the authentication fails. If the Prestige cannot
reach the RADIUS server, then the Prestige checks the local user database on the
Prestige.

network RADIUS server. However, there is a limit on the number of users you may authenticate in this way.
