•
Remote: Authentication by the centralized RADIUS server is required to
gain access to the SM if the SM is registered to an AP that has RADIUS
AAA Authentication Mode selected. For up to 2 minutes a test pattern
is displayed until the server responds or times out.
•
Remote then Local: Authentication using the centralized RADIUS server
is attempted. If the server sends a reject message, then the setting of
Allow Local Login after Reject from AAA determines if the local user
database is checked or not. If the configured servers do not respond
within 2 minutes, then the local user database is used. The successful
login method is displayed in the navigation column of the SM.
Allow Local Login
after Reject from AAA
If a user authentication is rejected from the AAA server, the user is allowed
to login locally to the radio’s management interface. It is applicable ONLY
when the User Authentication Mode is set to “Remote then Local”.
Note
When the radio User Authentication Mode is set to “Local” or
“Remote”, the Allow Local Login after Reject from AAA does
not any effect.
Accounting Messages
•
disable – no accounting messages are sent to the RADIUS server
•
deviceAccess – accounting messages are sent to the RADIUS server
regarding device access (see
Access Tracking
To track logon and logoff times on individual radios by technicians, installers, and administrators, on the
AP or SM’s Account > User Authentication and Access Tracking tab under Accounting (Access
Tracking) set Accounting Messages to “deviceAccess”.
Device Access Tracking is enabled separately from User Authentication Mode. A given AP or SM can be
configured for both, either, or neither.
RADIUS Device Data Accounting
PMP 450 Platform systems include support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing.
This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session
disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. The attributes
included in the RADIUS accounting messages are shown in the table below.
