Each Access Point and Remote radio must be identified/recognized by
the device authentication server through the Common Name (Serial
number) and IP address entries.
NOTE:
Consult your network administrator for assistance in configu-
ration, or for help with other issues that may arise.
To activate device authentication, select Device Auth Method and set
RADIUS as the active mode. The behavior of this setting differs
depending on whether it is implemented on an Access Point or a Remote
transceiver. An explanation of these behaviors is given below:
Access Point: When Device Auth Method is set to RADIUS , the AP disasso-
ciates all associated Remotes and waits for the device authentication
server to authenticate the Remotes before allowing data from them to
pass. When approval is received from the authentication server, data
from the Remote passes.
Remote: When Device Auth Method is set to RADIUS , the Remote halts any
data it is passing, and requests Authentication from the device authenti-
cation server. If accepted, data is transmitted.
Operation of User Authentication
User Authentication controls authentication of users who can manage
the device. This is in contrast to Device Authentication (above), which
authenticates devices that can participate in the data network. When user
authentication is set to
Local or RADIUS , you must enter a valid user name
and password before you can manage the radio. In RADIUS mode, both
of these fields can be up to 40 characters long. In Local mode the user
name is admin and the password can be up to 13 characters long.
When set to RADIUS , all logins to the local configuration services must
be authenticated via the device authentication server, including Telnet
and SSH (Secure Shell) sessions. Authentication must be accepted
before access to the radio menu is granted.
