Server IP Address: enter the IP address of the Radius server

Port: enter a port number, or accept the default

Secret: enter a password (1-63 character)

Group Key Interval: time (in seconds) after which the Group Key is changed automatically (1-99999).

Important Note: The values needed for the above entries can be obtained from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
