Authentication

Note: The following modem sharing options are available, but N-Tron does not provide technical support for using third party software with the 102RAS (N-Tron also does not provide any software for this use).

If you are using your 102RAS for dial-out, you will have to select one of the Modem Sharing options and select the Country Code. With any of the Modem Sharing options, the TCP port number used to access the modem is 7000. Modem Sharing with authentication means a login prompt will be issued to the socket when it is opened. The opener of the socket must provide appropriate credentials before access is given to the modem. If RAW is also selected – support for RFC 2217 (com port control vial Telnet) will be disabled.

Modem Sharing – No Authentication - Immediate access is given to the modem.

Modem Sharing – Local Authentication - A valid set of credentials, defined in the Local User data base, is required before access is granted.

Modem Sharing – Radius Authentication - A valid set of credentials, defined in the Radius User data base, is required before access is granted.

Modem Sharing – Raw Mode with No Authentication - User data is treated “as is”, without interpretation, and no authentication is required.

Modem Sharing – Raw Mode with Local Authentication - User data is treated “as is”, without interpretation, and a valid set of credentials, defined in the Local User data base, is required before access is granted.

Modem Sharing – Raw Mode with Radius Authentication - User data is treated “as is”, without interpretation, and a set of credentials, defined in the Radius User data base, is required before access is granted.

Caution: Modem sharing is accomplished by implementing a Telnet interface to the 102RAS’s embedded modem. Secure the access to the port via a firewall or IP filter settings to prevent unauthorized use of your modem resource.

This page shows the current Authentication configuration of the 102RAS.

Authentication Setup

Remote Host Address

Radius Server Address 1 and Port

Radius Accounting Address 1 and Port

Secret

If your database for user credentials resides in the Local User Database on the 102RAS, then accept the default – “local”. If your user database resides on a Radius Server, then click on the down arrow and choose radius.

If modem usage is RAS, enter a static IP Address in the Remote Host Address window which will be assigned to the dial-in user. This Remote Host Address has to match the network scheme of the 102RAS.
