Select “Radius Secret” to assign a shared radius secret. A secret can be up to 16 characters and must
be exactly the same as the secret stored on the server.
Select “Enable DS62 Usernames as Backup” to allow an unsecured access in case all specified radius
servers are unavailable.
Select “Radius Login Timeout” a specific amount of time the DS will wait for a response from the
radius server after sending the login message to the radius server. A timeout on a radius response is
treated, per RFC specifications, as a rejection from the radius server.
TACACS Configuration
TACACS can be used to authenticate logins for the serial port, the network port, modem or all three.
When a telnet / SSH session (or rs232 session) is started the Host module will prompt for the
username. After entering the username the Host will prompt for the password. After the password is
entered the Host will communicate with the TACACS server. If the server verifies the username and
password, the Host will display the menus. If the server rejects the username and password or does not
respond the Host will display the reason why the login failed.
