Maintenance - External Server as shown next.

These fields are explained in the following table.

supported.

Server
Address

The IP address of the accounting server.

Port #

The port number used by the accounting server.  The default is port
1646.

Key

The “password” used to authenticate your Prestige to the RADIUS
server.  Please note that this is between the Prestige and the server; it
has nothing to do with the dial-in users.

Once the accounting server is enabled and a user is authenticated, the Prestige sends messages

 

to the external

server. Some examples are shown next.
