Network Interface | RADIUS

RADIUS is an authentication and accounting system used by many Internet Service Providers (ISP).
RADIUS enables ISPs to maintain a very large database of users. By using RADIUS, service
providers can implement policy-based management of their subscribers' base. RADIUS also helps
ISPs to collect statistical data about their subscribers (e.g. amount of time, amount of transferred
bytes, and session time).
Use the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) menu to set-up the following RADIUS
settings:
RADIUS Settings – general RADIUS settings configuration (e.g. NAS server ID, servers
timeouts)
RADIUS Servers – up to 32 different RADIUS servers' configuration (accounting and
authentication servers)
WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) – specify WISP domain for RADIUS server
Proxy – configure the P560 to act as RADIUS proxy server.
Accounting Backup – backup the RADIUS subscribers accounting information.
In the Appendix tables: E) Standard RADIUS Attributes and Vendor Specific
Attributes Hotspot operators will find the required standard RADIUS attributes for
setting up the RADIUS system.
