Western Telematic AFS-16-1 manual Radius Parameters

Basic Configuration

5.9.10. RADIUS Parameters

The RADIUS Configuration Menus offer the following options:

•Enable: Enables/disables the RADIUS feature at the Network Port. (Default = Off.)

•Primary Address Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters long) for your primary RADIUS server. (Default = undefined.)

•Primary Secret Word: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the primary RADIUS server. (Default = undefined.)

•Secondary Address: Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters) for your secondary, fallback RADIUS server (if present.) (Default = undefined.)

•Secondary Secret Word: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the secondary RADIUS server. (Default = undefined.)

•Fallback Timer: Determines how long the AFS-16 will continue to attempt to contact the primary RADIUS Server before falling back to the secondary RADIUS Server. (Default = 3 Seconds.)

•Fallback Local: Determines whether or not the AFS-16 will fallback to its own password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When enabled, the AFS-16 will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking the RADIUS Server; if this fails, the AFS-16 will then attempt to authenticate the password by checking its own internal username directory. This parameter offers three options:

Off: Fallback Local is disabled (Default.)

On (All Failures): Fallback Local is enabled, and the unit will fallback to it's own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server, or when a password or username does not match the Radius Server.

On (Transport Failure): Fallback Local is enabled, but the unit will only fallback to it's own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server.

•Retries: Determines how many times the AFS-16 will attempt to contact the RADIUS server. Note that the retries parameter applies to both the Primary RADIUS Server and the Secondary RADIUS Server. (Default = 3.)

•Authentication Port: The Authentication Port number for the RADIUS function. (Default = 1812.)

•Accounting Port: The Accounting Port number for the RADIUS function. (Default = 1813.)

•Debug: (Text Interface Only) When enabled, the AFS-16 will put RADIUS debug information into Syslog. (Default = Off.)
