What have you tried so far?

If the WAP supports radius, there should be space in the management UI 
for the IP/hostname and port of the auth/accounting radius server, and 
the "shared secret"; once you've done that, you might need to change the 
wireless config to WPA-Enterprise (if that's what you want).

Once that's done, the WAP is configured. There's not usually much to do 
on the WAP (or "NAS" as RADIUS clients are normally termed). Next you 
just have to configure FreeRADIUS. See:

...for starters.
