Shared Secret
Shared Secret is the key used for encrypting the User name and Password 
transmitted to the RADIUS server(s). 
For security and control reasons, the Shared Secret option is available only for 
users with Administration access rights, using the Administrator Password to 
access the program. The Shared Secret cannot be changed using SNMP. For the 
same security reasons, the Shared Secret is displayed as a series of asterisks, and 
when defining it for the first time or updating it, the user is prompted to re-enter 
the new Shared Secret for confirmation.
NOTE
Upon switching to IP CS Switching Mode, all previous Ethernet CS Switching Mode Authentication 
and Accounting parameters are deleted from the database. Other changes that affect RADIUS 
configuration in IP CS Switching Mode include:
a. Only one Authentication Server and one Accounting Server can be defined. The configurable 
Server Status and read-only Activity Status parameters are not applicable.
b. Typically, the IP Addresses of the Authentication/Accounting Server(s) should be set to the IP 
address of the Data Port Default Gateway that serves as a proxy for the AAA server(s).
