RADIUS Server Configuration 
If using WPA2-Enterprise mode, the RADIUS server on your network must be configured as 
follows: 
•
 
It must provide and accept certificates for user authentication. 
•
 
There must be a client login for the wireless access point itself. 
•
 
The wireless access point will use its default name as its client login name. (However, your 
RADIUS server may ignore this and use the IP address instead.) 
•
 
The Shared Key, set on the Security screen of the access point, must match the Shared 
Secret value on the RADIUS server. 
•
 
Encryption settings must be correct.
