The RADIUS pop-up menu includes Default and Alternate choices because some servers use a different method of authentication. The three choices in the RADIUS pop-up menu have the following effects:
- Not used
RADIUS will not be active on the base station.
- Default
The MAC address will be formatted as 010203-0a0b0c and used for the user name. The Shared Secret will be the password. This format is often used by Lucent- and Agere-branded RADIUS servers.
- Alternate
The MAC address will be formatted as 0102030a0b0c and used for both the user name and password. This format is often used by Cisco RADIUS servers.
Earlier versions of base station firmware only provided the Default format for RADIUS servers.
