power management device.
SNMP: The SNMP menu allows you to configure the CABCONS1716I
so it can be recognized and managed using industry standard Simple
Network Management Protocol software.
RADIUS: The RADIUS server
requires the IP address, the UDP
port number (1812 - default or
1645) and the shared secret.
The shared secret is used to
encrypt communications and cor-
responds to a shared password
for the RADIUS server and the
client machine. Two additional
servers may be defined for backup
purposes. Each server will be tried
in order, using the indicated number
of retries and timeout period, which are configurable on the same page.
Remember to enable RADIUS after configuring it. While RADIUS authen-
tication is enabled, the locally defined accounts on the Server Remote
Control unit will not be used, except for the SSH login. However, if a user
name in the form "name.local" is given at the RADIUS prompt, the system
will use "name"; check the password locally, and skip RADIUS authentica-
tion. Delete all local accounts to avoid this behavior. When connecting via
VNC, a login screen is generated that asks for a RADIUS username and
password.
Modem: Enable this to allow the modem to answer the phone and start
a PPP connection. Enable modem connections (PPP) via serial port/
modem.
Serial Ports: The Serial Ports menu allows you to manage and connect
to devices connected to the unit using the R-Port on the CABCONS1716I.
Time / Date: Date and time are stored without consideration for time
