should be added to the client file. The Client Name field in the file gives the IP address of the TW-H6W1IR, and the Key field should be the same as the Key field in the Radius Configuration submenu.

After a RADIUS server has been configured, the TW-H6W1IR will use it to authenticate all users instead of checking it’s internal Dial-Up User Profile.

Adding Users to the RADIUS Database

The TW-H6W1IR only uses the RADIUS database for user authentication. Except for the User Name, Password and Framed_IP_Address fields, most standard RADIUS attribute fields are ignored by the TW-H6W1IR.

To add a user to the RADIUS database, edit the users file in the RADIUS server’s /etc/raddb directory, and add a line similar to the following:

joeuser

Password = “joepassword”

Each user should have a user name/password record in the Users database. It is also possible to configure an IP address for each user by adding a line in the Users database similar to the following:

Ip user Password = “iusespecificip”,

Framed_IP_Address = 192.168.0.117
