6.6 Setup Radius
The Cisco routers must be setup to send Radius accounting messages to the CallConnector
Server. The CallConnector Server uses these accounting messages to derive the telephone
status of the router extensions. In this configuration, the router is the Radius client and the
CallConnector Server is the Radius server which receives the messages. The Radius messages
are sent using UDP packets to the CallConnector Server IP address to a specific port. The
default port is 1646 for the accounting messages. If there are multiple routers, they must all be
setup to send the Radius accounting messages to the CallConnector Server.
The Configuration Manager Setup Radius window allows administrators to configure each router
connected to the CallConnector Server to send the Radius messages. The Setup Radius
window provides the following functions:

The Configuration Manager Setup Radius window allows administrators to configure each router
connected to the CallConnector Server to send the Radius messages. The Setup Radius
window provides the following functions:
1. Displays whether a router is correctly configured to send accounting messages to the
CallConnector Server,
2. Provides an interface to enter the password or ‘authentication key’ and the desired
port.
3. The Setup Radius button sends configuration commands to the router to provision
the Radius Accounting parameters.
4. Two diagnostic windows allow the administrator to verify if the accounting messages
are being received by the CallConnector Server and if the router is sending the
accounting messages using the router debug settings.
