11.2 Using RADIUS Authentication

Your Prestige has a built-in dial-up user list; however, the number of users that can be stored locally is
limited due to memory constraints. If you have more users than what the Prestige can store locally, use an
external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server that provides authentication service
for unlimited number of users.

11.2.1 Installing a RADIUS Server

To use RADIUS authentication, you need to have a UNIX or Windows NT machine on your network as the
RADIUS server, as well as the RADIUS software itself.
You can obtain the RADIUS server software, along with documentation, at
http://www.livingston.com/Tech/FTP/pub-le-radius.shtml or
ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/radius/
Follow the included instructions to install the software on your server.
After you install the server software, you will need to edit the dictionary file in the RADIUS
configuration directory (usually /etc/raddb). Using any text editor, add the following lines to the
dictionary file:
# Zyxel proprietary attributes
ATTRIBUTE Zyxel-Callback-Option
VALUE Zyxel-Callback-Option
VALUE Zyxel-Callback-Option
VALUE Zyxel-Callback-Option
# Callback phone number source
ATTRIBUTE Zyxel-Callback-Phone-Source
VALUE Zyxel-Callback-Phone-Source
VALUE Zyxel-Callback-Phone-Source
