Configure RADIUS Server

Configure Server option under Administration > Radius menu allows you to add the RADIUS server IP. Users with Administrator login can configure the RADIUS server.

When TejRAS is configured in TJ5500, random secret key will be set in TJ5500 and TJ5100 and the same is updated in TejRAS server. But to configure third party Radius server, TJ5500 does not have access to modify secret keys in the Radius server. So the secret key has to be manually configured in third party Radius server and then updated in TJ5500 and TJ5100. If the secret key is not provided then a random key will be generated which can be used to configure the third party Radius server.

Perform the following steps to configure the Primary and Secondary TejRAS servers and third party Radius server:

  1. Go to Administration > Radius menu and click Configure Server option. Configure Server window is displayed.
