If you use RADIUS for authenticating and authorizing users, and the RADIUS servers are not
in-service or are out-of-contact, the BCM will revert to using local authentication.
When you select RADIUS as the authentication method, user IDs and passwords will be
authenticated on the RADIUS server for the following tasks:
• administration of the BCM using Element Manager
• access to the BCM website
• access to the BCM Monitor
• dial-in access to the BCM using modem or ISDN
• Contact Centre administration
• BCM Amp configuration
• CTE DA ProAE
• telset administration
• IP set registration
• voicemail and web-based administration
• Call Detail Recording functionality

If you select RADIUS, follow the procedure for “Configuring an authentication server” on
page 84.
