Prestige 1600 Universal Access Concentrator

The early deployment of RADIUS was done using the chosen port number 1645. Currently, the officially assigned port number for RADIUS is 1812. So, check the port number used by your RADIUS server before configuring it in the Prestige.

You must reboot your Prestige after changing the RADIUS port number for the change to take effect.

It allows data to be sent at the start and the end of sessions, indicating the amount of resources (time, packets, bytes etc.) used during the session.
