Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an AAA 
(authentication, authorization, and accounting) protocol for network 
access applications. 
¾ 
To use the RADIUS authentication protocol: 
 
Figure 50: Authentication Settings (RADIUS) 
1.  Type the IP Address of your primary and (optional) secondary 
remote authentication servers in the Primary Radius Server and 
Secondary Radius Server fields, respectively. 
2.  Type the server secret used for authentication (in the Shared Secret 
fields). The shared secret is a character string that must be known by 
both the Dominion KX II and the RADIUS server to allow them to 
communicate securely. It is essentially a password.
