Authentication Options

: Administrators can designate configured auth servers for use. Postfix will be used

as auth server identifier when more than one auth server is enabled for service.

administrator can choose to set the URL of an opened browser after users’ initial login.

MAC Authentication

: RADIUS MAC authentication feature once enabled, if the connected device has its

MAC address entered in the configured RADIUS Server, the Controller will automatically authenticate and

grant access immediately if authentication succeeds. Users will experience transparent login.

PPP Authentication:

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link protocol commonly used in establishing a

direct connection between two networking nodes. When this feature is enabled for service, end users

may configure a dial-up connection setting with a valid username and password (support only Local and

RADIUS users). Once the dial-up connection has been established, the user would have been

authenticated successfully without further UAM login.

IP Address Range Assignment

field configures the starting IP range which PPP can assign IP addresses to

dial-up virtual interfaces. The assigned interface IP address is used to route between the networks on

both side of the tunnel.
