D: Supported RADIUS Attributes

This appendix lists and explains the RADIUS attributes currently supported by the SCS. The SCS transmits

these attributes whenever they are appropriate for the given connection.

Users cannot directly specify which attributes the SCS will transmit—this is negotiated for each connection

based on the connection type and requirements. For example, CHAP-Challenge packets are only needed for

PPP connections that authenticate via CHAP.

D.1 Authentication Attributes

D.1.1 Access-Request

For Access-Request packets, the SCS can transmit the following attributes.

User-Name

User-Password

CHAP-Password Either a User-Password or CHAP-Password will be sent.

CHAP-Challenge

NAS-Identifier The NAS-Identifier is the SCS’s name string configured with the Set/Define

Server Name command.

NAS-Port

NAS-Port-Type

Service-Type The Service-Type will be either Login or Framed (PPP/SLIP).

Framed-Protocol When the Service-Type is Framed or Callback-Framed, this value denotes

which of the framed protocols (PPP or SLIP) is being used for the connection.

Calling-Station-ID When Caller-ID is enabled on the port and a phone number is found in the

modem’s response string, the SCS will report this value.

Note: For more information about Caller-ID, see the Caller-ID section on page 9-12.
