Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to
only see the items.

Rem ot e A ut hent icat ion Dial- in User Ser vice ( RA DIUS)
The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family includes support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial
In User Service) protocol functionality including:
l
SM Authentication: Allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking “rogue” SMs), and can be
configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known network (preventing SMs from connecting to
“rogue” APs). RADIUS authentication is used for SMs, but not used for APs.
l
SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), High
Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP.
l
User Authentication allows users to configure a separate User authentication server along with the
SM authentication server. If firmware is upgraded while using this functionality and no User
authentication servers are configured, then AP continues to use the SM authentication server for
User authentication
l
SM Accounting provides 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.
l
Centralized AP and SM user name and password management: Allows AP and SM usernames and
access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician and Read-Only) to be centrally administered in
the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each
username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration
actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions
require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Wireless Manager. This
accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer
account.
l
Framed-IP-Address: Operators may use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to
SM modules. SNMP
The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP interface. The
management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using Management Information Base (MIB)
files which are available for download from the Cambium Networks Support website:

Net w or k Tim e Pr ot ocol ( NTP)
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a
connection to a network time server (NTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time
zone and daylight saving in the Time web page.
If an NTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at regular
intervals. The 450 Platform Family radios may receive NTP data from a CMM4 module or an NTP server
configured in the system’s management network.
