2. Under Security Setting, type the Authorized ID and Authorized Password which will be used for
the client GV-System to log into the Authentication Server.
3. Click OK to apply the settings.
4. Click the Start/Stop Service button (No. 5, Figure 11-24) to start the services.
You can optionally configure the following settings before starting the Authentication Server:
[Network Setting]
„ Server Port: The default port number is 3663. To use UPnP for automatic port configuration to
your router, click the Arrow button. For details, see UPnP Settings in Chapter 8.
„ Automatic Failover Support: You can configure another two Authentication Servers in case of
the primary Authentication Server failure. Once the primary server fails, the second or the third
server will take over the connection from clients and provide uninterrupted services. Note the
settings of Authorized ID and Authorized Password on the failover server must match those of the
primary server. To set up the failover server, you can use the Export Account function in the Exit
button.
