Always Try Primary Server First

Set this option to force the LPS-20x to contact the primary server first. Otherwise, the LPS-20x sends the first

RADIUS access request to the last known RADIUS server that replied to any previous RADIUS access request. If

the request times out, the next request is sent to the other RADIUS server (if defined).

For example, assume that the primary RADIUS server was not reachable and that the secondary server responded

to the last RADIUS access request. When a new authentication request is received, the LPS-20x sends the first

RADIUS access request to the secondary RADIUS server. If it does not reply, the RADIUS access request is

retransmitted to the primary RADIUS server. The LPS-20x always alternate between the two servers (when

configured).
