AP-2500 Authentication Methods
• Place a check mark in the Send NAS Port Type box if you want to include the port type in the messages sent
to the RADIUS server.
• Set the NAS Port Type to 19 if you enabled Send NAS Port Type.
— Port Type 19 corresponds to a connection made over an IEEE 802.11 Wireless network. See RFC 2865
for details (the RFC is available at http://www.rfc-editor.org/).
— You can also use NAS Port Type to establish different access policies. For example, in a cyber café there
could be two access types: wired and wireless and you could charge more for access from a wired
computer that is part of your network infrastructure.
• Set the Default User Idle Timeout.
— The AP times out users who are inactive for the specified number of seconds.
— The AP only uses this parameter if the Idle-Timeout attribute is not set or if it specifies an amount of time
that is greater than this setting. See RADIUS Messages and RADIUS Attributes for details.
— When set to 0, a user never times out (assuming that the Idle-Timeout attribute is not set).

10. Confirm that there is check mark next to the Enable User Names box if you are authenticating users based on
User name/Password.
11. Place a check mark in the Enable Smart Client box if you are a partner with a hotspot aggregator, such as Boingo,
iPass, or GRIC, and you want to support subscribers who have the aggregator’s Smart Client application installed
on their computers. In this case, the RADIUS settings you configured should point to the aggregator’s RADIUS
servers. See Smart Client for details.
