This page allows you to enter the authentication settings. The
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server on your
network uses EAP to provide authentication service for wireless
client devices.
Settings
802.1X Protocol Version (for EAP Authentication)
Use the drop-down menu to select the draft of the 802.1X protocol
the access point's radio uses. EAP operates only when the radio
firmware on client devices complies with the same 802.1X Protocol
draft as the management firmware on the access point.
- Draft 7 - No radio firmware versions compliant with Draft 7
have LEAP capability, so you should not need this setting.
- Draft 8 - Select this option if LEAP-enabled client devices
that associate with this access point use radio firmware versions
4.13, 4.16, or 4.23.
- Draft 10 - Select this option if client devices that associate
with this access point use Microsoft Windows XP authentication
or if LEAP-enabled client devices that associate with this access
point use radio firmware version 4.25 or later.

the correct port setting.
Shared Secret
Enter the shared secret used by your RADIUS server. The shared
secret on the device must match the shared secret on the RADIUS
server.
Retran Int (sec)
Enter the number of seconds the device should wait before authentication
fails.
