Menus and Parameters
! Shared Secret – To define the key that will be used for encrypting
the User Password for increased security. The algorithm used for
encrypting the User Password is MD5.
Valid values: A string of up to 20 printable ASCII characters, case
sensitive.
Default value: RadiusSecret1234.
Authentication Parameters Menu
The implementation is based on RFC 2865. The mechanism allows an
SU to synchronize and associate to its AU, then request authentication
from the RADIUS server. Only if the authentication is successful the
user will receive services (data and voice). It is then possible to
download from a remote server the full unit services configuration
(CIR/MIR, Telephone number etc.). If the authentication is not
successful, the data and voice ports of the SU will be blocked.
! Authentication Option – To enable or disable the use of RADIUS
for authentication. When this option is enabled and the RADIUS
Server Authentication IP Address is configured to an address
other than 0.0.0.0., the SU enables the RADIUS authentication
feature.
Default selection: Disable
! RADIUS Server Authentication IP Address –To define the IP
address of the RADIUS server to be used for authentication.
The default address is 0.0.0.0 (none).
! RADIUS Server Authentication Port – Specifies the UDP port
number used by the Radius server for authenticating the clients.
Valid values: 1000 to 65535.
The default value is 1812 (RFC requirement).
! Show Authentication Parameters and Status – To display the
Authentication parameters and the current status. The status can
be Idle, Sending Request, Waiting For Response, Sending Challenge,
Authenticated or Rejected.
Accounting Parameters Menu
If the Accounting Option is enabled, then every period defined by the
service provider (Accounting Interval) the NAS (SU) will update the
Radius Accounting Server with the traffic passed through it during the
period. From the Radius Server point of view this period is a session in
accordance with the RFC 2866 definitions. The information is sent to
the Radius Server using the standard Radius attributes. The record
structure is described in RADIUS Record Structure‚ page 2-97.
The Accounting Parameters menu allows enabling the RADIUS client
embedded in the Subscriber Unit and configuring the parameters that
control the transmission of accounting records to a RADIUS billing
