The SNMP menu allows you to congure the IP KVM switch so it can be recognized and
managed using industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol software.
The RADIUS server requires the IP address, the UDP port number (1812 - default or
1645) and the shared secret. The shared secret is used to encrypt communications
and corresponds to a shared password for the RADIUS server and the client machine.
Two additional servers may be dened for backup purposes. Each server will be
tried in order, using the indicated number of retries and timeout period, which are
congurable on the same page.
Remember to enable RADIUS after conguring it. While RADIUS authentication is
enabled, the locally dened accounts on the Server Remote Control unit will not be
used, except for the SSH login.
However, if a user name of the form “name.local” is given at the RADIUS prompt, the
system will use “name”; check the password locally, and skip RADIUS authentication.
Delete all local accounts to avoid this behavior. When connecting via VNC, a login
screen is generated that asks for a RADIUS username and password.
Enable this to allow the modem to answer the phone and start a PPP connection.
Enable modem connections (PPP) via serial port/modem.
