6.2.11.1 Modem Control and Passwords
Local
In Local mode only the front panel can be used to control the modem.
Local+remote In Local+remote mode, the modem accepts commands from any user
interface at any time.
Passwords for the administrator (login name admin) and user (login name user) can be
changed (the default password for both is paradise). Administrators can both view and
control the modem whereas other users can only view modem web pages. Multiple users
can be logged on at the same time. When the administrator password is changed then the
modem's web user interface will issue an immediate new login request, which needs to be
completed using the new password.
6.2.11.2 RADIUS Server IP Address and Fallback Address
The modem supports a RADIUS client that communicates with the server in order to
authenticate each user and to provide the authorised level of access (administrator or view-
only). This allows users to log in using their personal organization login credentials. All login
and configuration change activities are recorded in the modem's log, giving greater visibility
and accountability.
Server
This sets the IP address for a network server that supports the RADIUS
AAA server to be used for authenticating users' login credentials.
IP address
Fallback
This sets the IP address for a fallback RADIUS network server to be used
server
IP
in the event that the primary server cannot be contacted. The timeout
address
period is specified by the Server timeout value.

6.2.11.3 RADIUS Shared Secret
The Shared secret is a user-assigned alphanumeric string, which is used as an
authentication key (essentially a password) between the RADIUS client in the modem and
the RADIUS server on the network.
The modem RADIUS authentication feature will work out-of-the-box, subject
to the modem having access to a RADIUS server on the user's network. By
default, all authorised users will receive administrator privileges. If you want
some users to get administrator access and some view-only access, then
customisation of the RADIUS server configuration is required as explained
below.
