AT-TQ2403 Management Software User's Guide 39
Chapter 5: Managing User Accounts
The AT-TQ2403 Management Software includes user management capabilities for controlling client
access to access points.
User management and authentication must always be used in conjunction with the following two security
modes, which require use of a RADIUS server for user authentication and management.
IEEE 802.1x mode (see “IEEE 802.1x
” in Configuring Security)
WPA with RADIUS mode (see “WPA Enterprise
” in Configuring Security)
You have the option of using either the internal RADIUS server embedded in the AT-TQ2403
Management Software or an external RADIUS server that you provide. If you use the embedded RADIUS
server, use this Administration Web page on the access point to set up and manage user accounts. If you
are using an external RADIUS server, you will need to set up and manage user accounts on the
Administrative interface for that server.
On the User Management page, you can create, edit, remove, and view client user accounts. Each user
account consists of a user name and password. The set of users specified here represent approved clients
that can log in and use one or more access points to access local and possibly external networks via your
wireless network.
Note: Users specified here are clients of the access point(s) who
use the APs as a
connectivity hub, not administrators of the wireless network. Only those with the
administrator username and password and knowledge of the administration URL can log in as
an administrator and view or modify configuration settings.
