Quick Start Guide
When the authentication method is Radius, then the IP address and UDP port of
the Radius Server and Radius Accounting Server have to be entered and the
Secret has to be entered.
Radius accounting begins after successful Radius authentication. Radius
accounting summarizes the time and date, duration, POTS port connected and
the IP address given to the user for the call. Radius accounting does not track
the amount or type of data of the session or the places the user communicates
with.
The Secret is an MD5 encryption key used by both the Radius Server and
Radius Client, MultiAccess. It must be the same alphanumeric string, including
case that is defined in the Radius Sever.
Authentication / Radius Client Configuration: POTS modem x
1.
In the Authentication Type, if your database for user credientals resides in
the Local User Database on the MultiAccess, then accept the default –
local.
If your user database is external to the MultiAccess, then click on the
down arrow and choose radius.
2.
For RAS calls, enter an available IP Address from your existing network
scheme in the Remote Host Address window which will be assigned to
the dial-in user. This remote host address has to match the network
number that the MultiAccess is on.
3.
If you are setting up MultiAccess to use Radius Authentication, then enter
the IP address of the primary RADIUS Server in the RADIUS Server
Address window.
4.
Enter the port number (usually 1812) for this Radius Server in the Port
window across from the server address you just entered. The Radius
Server has to be listening on the same UDP port that the Radius Client,
MultiAccess, is using.
5.
Enter the IP address of the Radius Accounting server in the RADIUS
Accounting Address window.
6.
Enter the port number (usually 1813) for the Radius Accounting server in
the Port window across from the accounting address you just entered.
The Radius Accounting Server has to be listening on the same UDP port
that the Radius Client, MultiAccess, is using.
7. Enter the Secret of the Radius Server that you are communicating with.
The Secret has to be indentical to the one used by your Radius Server and
is limited to 14 alphanumeric characters.
