17.2 What You Can Do in the Internal Radius
Server Screens
•Use the AUTH. SERVER > Setting screen (see Section 17.4 on page 200) to
turn the NWA’s internal RADIUS server off or on and to view information about
the NWA’s certificates.
•Use the AUTH. SERVER > Trusted AP screen (see Section 17.5 on page 202)
to specify APs as trusted. Trusted APs can use the NWA’s internal RADIUS server
to authenticate wireless clients.
•Use the AUTH. SERVER > Trusted Users screen (see Section 17.6 on page
204) to configure a list of wireless client user names and passwords.
17.3 What You Need To Know
The NWA has a built-in RADIUS server that can authenticate wireless clients or
other trusted APs. Certificates are used by wireless clients to authenticate the
RADIUS server. These are “digital signatures” that identify network devices.
Certificates ensure that the clients supply their login details to the correct device.
Information matching the certificate is held on the wireless client’s utility. A
password and user name on the utility must match the Trusted Users list so that
the RADIUS server can be authenticated.
Note: The NWA can function as an AP and as a RADIUS server at the same time.
