contains No, only the built-in dial-up user list will be used. If this field
contains Yes, the built-in dial-up user list will be searched first, then the
external authentication server.

only the RADIUS type is supported.

Port # The port number used by the authentication server. The default value of
1645 should be used.

RADIUS authentication service.
Table 14-1 Menu 23.2 - System Security - External Server
The Key password should be stored in the
client
file in the RADIUS server
¡ ¦
s
/etc/raddb
directory. Lines of the form
# Client Name Key
#-----------------------------
192.168.1.1 1234
should be added to the
client
file. The Client Name field in the file gives the IP address
of the Prestige 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 uses it to authenticate all users
that it can’t find in its internal remode nodes and dial-up user list (menu 14).
14.2.3. Adding Users to the RADIUS Database
The Prestige uses RADIUS mainly 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.
