RADIUS 10.4
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is an industry-standard way to manage logins to many
different types of equipment in one central location. The NetGuardian connects to your central RADIUS server. Every
time a device receives a login attempt (usually a username & password), it requests an authentication from the
RADIUS server. If the username & password combination is found in the server's database, an affirmative "access
granted" reply is sent back to the unit device, allowing the user to connect.

After successfully entering the settings for the RADIUS server, the NetGuardian Web Browser will prompt users for
both a Username and Password, which will be verified using the information and access rights stored in the RADIUS
database.
RADIUS logons are case-sensitive. If the RADIUS server is unavailable or access is denied, the master password
will work for craft port access only. Also, the "dictionary.dps" files (included on the Resource Disk) needs to be
loaded on the RADIUS server for access-right definition. If RADIUS is enabled on the NetGuardian, the local
authentication will not be valid.
