should be added to the client file. The Client Name field in the file gives the IP address of the Prestige router, and the Key field should be the same as the Key field in Menu 23.2.

After a RADIUS server has been configured, the Prestige will use it to authenticate all users that it cant find in its internal Dial-Up User List (Menu 14).

Adding Users to the RADIUS Database

The Prestige only uses the RADIUS database for user authentication; except for Password, Dialback-No, and the

ZyXEL extensions Zyxel-Callback-Option and Zyxel-

Callback-Phone-Source(described below), most standard RADIUS attribute fields are ignored by the Prestige.

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.

Using RADIUS Authentication for CLID

To use RADIUS for CLID authentication, create a user record in the users file , where the user name (the first field) is the telephone number, and the password (the second field) is always Zyxel-CLID(case-sensitive). The regular user name is put in a User-Name field. The following is an example of a CLID user record:

5551212 Password = “Zyxel-CLID”
