WLAN clients can use the 802.1x protocol for network registration. The LANCOM access point can use this protocol to forward the registration to the RADIUS server. The MAC address is used for user identification.
Note: Please refer to for further information on the 802.1 x protocol.

- Name In this table, each RADIUS server needs a unique name. The name 'DEFAULT' is reserved for all WLAN networks that use an authentication process in line with IEEE 802.1x and that have not specified their own RADIUS server. By using the name defined in the 'Key 1/passphrase' field, each WLAN network using authentication in line with IEEE 802.1x can be assigned its own RADIUS server.
- Server IP address Specify here the IP address of your RADIUS server from which users are managed centrally.
- Server port Specify here the port used for communication to your RADIUS server.
- Key (shared secret) Specify here the key to be used for coding data. The key must also be configured on the RADIUS server.
- Backup server
Name of the backup server from the list of RADIUS servers configured
so far.
Note: The generic values for retry and timeout must also be configured.WLAN clients must be entered as follows on the RADIUS server: The user name is the MAC address in the format AABBCC-DDEEFF. The password for all users is identical to the key (shared secret) for the RADIUS server.
