Radius Parameters - Western Telematic M User Manual

5.9.10. RADIUS Parameters

To access the RADIUS Configuration Menus, proceed as follows:
• Text Interface: Type /N and press [Enter] to access the Network Configuration
Menu. From the Network Configuration Menu, type 29 and press [Enter] to display
the RADIUS Configuration Menu.
• Web Browser Interface: Place the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link
on the left hand side of the screen. When the fly-out menu appears, click on the
"RADIUS Parameters" link to display the RADIUS Configuration Menu.
The RADIUS Configuration Menus offer the following options:
• Enable: Enables/disables the RADIUS feature at the Network Port. (Default = Off.)
• Primary Address Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters
long) for your primary RADIUS server. (Default = undefined.)
• Primary Secret Word: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the primary RADIUS
server. (Default = undefined.)
• Secondary Address: Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters
long) for your secondary, fallback RADIUS server (if present.)
(Default = undefined.)
• Secondary Secret Word: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the secondary
RADIUS server. (Default = undefined.)
• Fallback Timer: Determines how long the MPC will continue to attempt to contact
the primary RADIUS Server before falling back to the secondary RADIUS Server.
(Default = 3 Seconds.)
• Fallback Local: Determines whether or not the MPC will fallback to its own
password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When enabled,
the MPC will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking the RADIUS
Server; if this fails, the MPC will then attempt to authenticate the password by
checking its own internal username directory. This parameter offers three options:
Off: Fallback Local is disabled (Default.)
◆
On (All Failures): Fallback Local is enabled, and the unit will fallback to it's
◆
own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server, or when a
password or username does not match the Radius Server.
On (Transport Failure): Fallback Local is enabled, but the unit will only fallback
◆
to it's own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server.
• Authentication Port: The Authentication Port number for the RADIUS function.
(Default = 1812.)
• Accounting Port: The Accounting Port number for the RADIUS function.
(Default = 1813.)
• Debug: (Text Interface Only) When enabled, the MPC will put RADIUS debug
information into Syslog. (Default = Off.)
