CHAPTER 3
WEB OPERATION & CONFIGURATION
Disabled:
The selected server is disabled.
Not Ready:
The server is enabled, but IP communication is not yet up and running.
Ready:
The server is enabled, IP communication is up and running, and the RADIUS module is ready to accept
accounting attempts.
Dead (X seconds left):
Accounting attempts were made to this server, but it did not reply within the configured
timeout. The server has temporarily been disabled, but will get re-enabled when the dead-time expires. The
number of seconds left before this occurs is displayed in parentheses. This state is only reachable when more
than one server is enabled.
Round-Trip Time:
The time interval (measured in milliseconds) between the most recent Response and the Request
that matched it from the RADIUS accounting server. The granularity of this measurement is 100 ms. A value of 0 ms
indicates that there hasn't been round-trip communication with the server yet.

Global Configuration
Timeout:
The time the switch waits for a reply from a server before it retransmits the request.
Deadtime:
Deadtime is the period during which the switch will not send new requests to a server that has failed to
respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually trying to contact a server that it has already
determined as dead. Setting the Deadtime to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only if more
than one server has been configured. The allowed deadtime range is between 0 to 1440minutes.
.
Key:
Specify the secret key up to 63 characters. This is shared between a sever and the switch.
Server Configuration
Hostname:
The hostname or IP address for a server.
Port:
The TCP port number to be used on a server for authentication.
Timeout:
If timeout value is specified here, it will replace the global timeout value. If you prefer to use the global value,
leave this field blank.
