About user accounts and RADIUS

	Overview
	You can have a maximum of 32 user accounts on the Console Server. You will also be
	able to configure user accounts on the RADIUS host. Therefore some users can be
	authenticated by the unit, other users by RADIUS. You could have other combinations
	of maintaining user accounts; i.e. duplicated on both the unit and the RADIUS host or,
	alternatively all user accounts stored on the RADIUS host only.
Caution	when a user is authenticated by RADIUS the unit starts a user service - such as telnet
	or SLIP - based on instructions passed down by the RADIUS host. User parameters -
	such as ‘service’ or ‘ip_host’ are taken entirely from the RADIUS host.

When

RADIUS authenticates users

Caution	If you set the port to authenticate by RADIUS only, users will not be able to dial in and
	connect if the network connection is down (no access to RADIUS server).
