5.9.10.  RADIUS Parameters
The RADIUS Configuration Menus offer the following options:

•  Enable:  Enables/Disables the RADIUS feature at the Network Port.  

(Default = Off.)

•  Primary Address:  Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters 

long) for your primary RADIUS server.  (Default = undefined.)

•  Primary Secret Word:  Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the primary 

RADIUS server.  (Default = undefined.)

•  Secondary Address:  Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 

characters long) for your secondary, fallback RADIUS server (if present.)   

(Default = undefined.)

•  Secondary Secret Word:  Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the secondary 

RADIUS server.  (Default = undefined.)

•  Fallback Timer:  Determines how long the Outlet Managed PDU will continue 

to attempt to contact the primary RADIUS Server before falling back to the 

secondary RADIUS Server.  (Default = 3 Seconds.)

•  Fallback Local:  Determines whether or not the Outlet Managed PDU will 

fallback to its own password/username directory when an authentication attempt 

fails.  When enabled, the Outlet Managed PDU will first attempt to authenticate 

the password by checking the RADIUS Server; if this fails, the Outlet Managed 

PDU will then attempt to authenticate the password by checking its own internal 

username directory.  This parameter offers three options:



  Off:  Fallback Local is disabled (Default.)



  On (All Failures):  Fallback Local is enabled, and the unit will fallback to 

it’s own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server, or 

when a password or username does not match the Radius Server.



  On (Transport Failure):  Fallback Local is enabled, but the unit will only 

fallback to it’s own internal user directory when it cannot contact the  

Radius Server.

•  Retries:  Determines how many times the Outlet Managed PDU will attempt to 

contact the RADIUS server.  Note that the retries parameter applies to both the 

Primary RADIUS Server and the Secondary RADIUS Server.  (Default = 3.)
