Backup

If the ZyAIR cannot authenticate a wireless station(s) using the Primary 

RADIUS server or communicate with the Primary accounting server, you can 

have the ZyAIR use a Backup RADIUS server. Make sure the Active check 

boxes are selected if you want to use backup servers.
The ZyAIR will attempt to communicate three times before using the Backup 

servers. Requests can be issued from the client interface to use the backup 

server. The length of time for each authentication is decided by the wireless 

client or based on the configuration of the ReAuthentication Timer field in the 

in the Security screen.
