13.5 Client Router Mode
In Client Router Mode, the OM2P’s internal DHCP server allows a number of LANs to
automatically generate IP addresses to share the same Internet. In this mode, connect an
AP/WISP wirelessly and connect to LANs via a wired connection.
13.6 RADIUS Connections
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) authentication is available when
configuring the OM2P wireless advanced settings (see Chapter 8). Use this feature if you have
a RADIUS server. WPA(TKIP), WPA2(AES), and WPA2 Mixed encryption types are also
supported.
The following figure shows an example of a RADIUS configuration, where two OM2P devices
installed at different locations communicate with each other wirelessly. In this configuration,
one OM2P is configured for Access Point Mode and connected to a RADIUS server via a
switch, while the other OM2P is configured for Client Bridge Mode. The RADIUS server uses
an authentication scheme such as PAP or CHAP to verify a user's identification, along with,
optionally, other information related to the request, such as the user's network address or
phone number, account status and specific network service access privileges. The RADIUS
server then returns one of three responses to the OM2P : Access Reject (user is denied access
to all requested network resources), Access Challenge (requests additional information from
the user such as a secondary password), PIN, token or card), or Access Accept (user is granted
access).
