Compatibility
The Compatibility menu offers features
that may provide enhanced functionality
with certain KVM and power products, such
as StarTech.com’s Remote Power Switch
(PCM8155HNA). These can be left at their
default values if you are not connecting the
unit to a KVM or power management device.
SNMP
The SNMP menu allows you to configure the IP KVM so it can
be recognized and managed using industry standard Simple
Network Management Protocol software.
RADIUS
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 defined for
backup purposes. Each server will be tried in
order using the indicated number of retries
and timeout period, which are configurable
on the same page.
Remember to enable RADIUS after configuring it. While RADIUS authentication is
enabled, the locally defined accounts on the Server Remote Control unit will not be
used, except for the SSH login. However, if a user name in 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.
