AudioCodes Mediant 500L - Configuring Interface for RADIUS Communication; Configuring RADIUS Packet Retransmission

Version 7.2 243 Mediant 500L Gateway & E-SBC
User's Manual 15. Services
Parameter Description
authentication is not implemented.
The valid value is 0 to any integer. The default is 1645.
Accounting Port
acc-port
[RadiusServers_AccountingPort]
Defines the port of the RADIUS Accounting server to where the
device sends accounting data of SIP calls as call detail records
(CDR). When set to any value other than 0, the RADIUS server
is used by the device for RADIUS-based accounting (CDR).
When set to 0, RADIUS-based accounting is not implemented.
The valid value is 0 to any integer. The default is 1646.
Shared Secret
shared-secret
[RadiusServers_SharedSecret]
Defines the shared secret (password) for authenticating the
device with the RADIUS server. This should be a cryptically
strong password. The shared secret is also used by the
RADIUS server to verify the authentication of the RADIUS
messages sent by the device (i.e., message integrity).
The valid value is up to 48 characters. By default, no value is
defined.
15.3.3 Configuring Interface for RADIUS Communication
The device can communicate with the RADIUS server through its' OAMP (default) or SIP
Control network interface. To change the interface for RADIUS traffic, use the
RadiusTrafficType parameter.
Note: If you configure the parameter to Control, make sure that only one Control
interface is configured in the IP Interfaces table (see ''
Configuring IP Network
Interfaces'' on page 145); otherwise, RADIUS communication fails.
15.3.4 Configuring RADIUS Packet Retransmission
You can configure the device to resend packets to the RADIUS server if no response is
received from the server. This functionality is applicable to RADIUS-based user
authentication and RADIUS-based accounting.
 To configure RADIUS packet retransmission:
1. Open the Authentication Server page (Setup menu > Administration tab > Web &
CLI folder > Authentication Server).
Figure 15-11: Configuring RADIUS Packet Retransmission
2. Under the RADIUS group, do the following:
a. In the 'RADIUS Packets Retransmission' field (RADIUSRetransmission), enter
the maximum number of RADIUS retransmissions that the device performs if no
response is received from the RADIUS server.
b. In the 'RADIUS Response Time Out' field (RadiusTO), enter the interval (in
seconds) that the device waits for a response before sending a RADIUS
retransmission.
