Chapter 9 Wireless Security Configuration

ZyXEL NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

RADIUS is based on a client-sever model that supports authentication and accounting, where 
the access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles 
the following tasks, among others:

• Authentication 

Determines the identity of the users.

• Accounting

Keeps track of the client’s network activity. 

The ZyXEL Device is equipped with an internal RADIUS server. See 

 for more details.

Use RADIUS if you want to authenticate wireless users using

 

the internal authentication 

server (see 

) or an external server.

You can configure up to four RADIUS server profiles. Each profile also has one backup 
authentication server and a backup accounting server. These profiles can be assigned to an 
SSID profile in the SSID configuration screen
To set up your ZyXEL Device’s RADIUS server settings, click WIRELESS > RADIUS. The 
screen appears as shown.
