WPA-Enterprise  

This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients 
should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the 
Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS 
Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate users.   

Authentication Timeout: Amount of time before a client will be required to 
re-authenticate.  

RADIUS Server IP Address: The IP address of the authentication server.   

RADIUS Server Port: The port number used to connect to the authentication server.   

RADIUS Server Shared Secret: A pass-phrase that must match with the authentication 
server.  

MAC Address Authentication: If this is selected, the user must connect from the same 
computer whenever logging into the wireless network.   

Advanced:   

Optional Backup RADIUS Server   

This option enables configuration of an optional second RADIUS server. A second RADIUS 
server can be used as backup for the primary RADIUS server. The second RADIUS server is 
consulted only when the primary server is not available or not responding. The fields Second 
RADIUS Server IP Address

Secret
Second MAC Address Authentication provide the corresponding parameters for 
the second RADIUS Server.
