You need to specify the user name and password combinations when
configuring the RADIUS server software on the authentication server.

Note
This manual does not explain how to configure RADIUS server
software. Refer to the documentation that comes with the RADIUS
server software for instructions.

You must activate the RADIUS client software on the switch using the
AT-S107 Management software and configure the settings. This is
explained in “Port Access Control Configuration” on page 245 and
“Radius Client Configuration”.

For more information about the RADIUS authentication protocol, refer
to the RFC 2865 standard.
