The IEEE 802.1x standards outline enhanced security methods for both the authentication of 
wireless stations and encryption key management.

Follow the steps below to enable EAP authentication on your ZyXEL device.

2 Enter 4 to display Menu 23.4 – System Security – IEEE802.1x.

Active

Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to enable user 

authentication through an external accounting server.  

Server Address

Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal 

notation. 

Port

The default port of the RADIUS server for accounting is 1813. 
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs 

you to do so with additional information.   

Shared Secret

Specify a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be 

shared between the external accounting server and the access points. 
The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the 

external accounting server and ZyXEL device.

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC 

to cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
