512 WLAN clients, all able to register with the LANCOM access point, may be entered in the access list. When operating in RADIUS server mode, this list can also be used to check on RADIUS clients wanting to register at other access points. In an installation having several access points, client access authorizations can be maintained centrally.

- Provide server database [default: yes] This parameter specifies whether the WLAN access list is to be used as an information source for the RADIUS server in the LANCOM access point. The WLAN access list contains the user name in the form of the MAC address and the password ('WPA passphrase'). In addition to this access data, the access list provides information such as bandwidth restriction and association to a specific VLAN.
- Recheck cycle [default: 0]
Once a WLAN client is logged on after authentication by RADIUS, it remains
active until it logs off itself or is logged off by the RADIUS server.
By specifying a recheck cycle [minutes], the RADIUS server can regularly
check whether the WLAN clients logged in are still in the access list.
If a WLAN client is removed from the access list, it remains logged in
to the WLAN up to the point when the recheck cycle runs again.
Note: A recheck cycle of '0' disables regular checking. WLAN clients remain logged in until they log themselves out.
