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 1500WR Wireless Router. The RADIUS is an external server. Use
this drop-down list box to select which database the 1500WR Wireless Router should use (first) to
authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding database correctly
first.
Select
Local User Database Only
to have the 1500WR Wireless Router just check the built-in user
database on the 1500WR Wireless Router for a wireless station’s username and password.
Select
RADIUS Only
to have the 1500WR Wireless Router just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station’s username and password.
Select
Local first, then RADIUS
to have the 1500WR Wireless Router first check the user
database on the 1500WR Wireless Router for a wireless station’s username and password. If
the user name is not found, the 1500WR Wireless Router then checks the user database on the
specified RADIUS server.
Select
RADIUS first, then Local
to have the 1500WR Wireless Router first check the user
database on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station’s username and password. If the
1500WR Wireless Router cannot reach the RADIUS server, the 1500WR Wireless Router then
checks the local user database on the 1500WR Wireless Router. When the user name is not found
or password does not match in the RADIUS server, the 1500WR Wireless Router will not check the
local user database and the authentication fails.
