to authenticate users.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the external RADIUS server in dotted decimal notation.

UDP Port

The default port of the RADIUS server for authentication is 1812. You need not

change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.

Shared Secret

Specify a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

between the external RADIUS server and the IES-708-22A. This key is not sent

over the network. This key must be the same on the external RADIUS server

and the IES-708-22A.

volatile memory when you are done configuring.
