MAC Authentication Select this to use an external server or the NXC’s local database to authenticate wireless
clients by their MAC addresses. Users cannot get an IP address if the MAC authentication
fails. See MAC Address Accounts on page 239 for information on MAC address user
accounts.
An external server can use the wireless client’s account (username/password) or Calling
Station ID for MAC authentication. Configure the ones the external server uses.
