Digi TransPort LR54 - Configure the Hotspot with RADIUS Users Authentication

Configure the hotspot with RADIUS users authentication
RADIUSusers authentication requires each hotspot user to enter a username and password. Users
are created on an external RADIUS server, and the username and password is validated by the
external RADIUS server.
By default, the router redirects unauthenticated users to the HTML authentication page located on
the router at /hotspot/login.html. You can customize the authentication page as needed, or host an
authentication page on a remote server. See Customize the hotspot login page for further
information.
Required configuration items
n Enable the hotspot with RADIUS users authentication.
n IP address or fully qualified domain name of the RADIUS server.
n Users configured on the RADIUS server.
n RADIUS server secret.
n RADIUSNASID.
n Domain name or subnet of the RADIUS server included in the "white list" of servers that
unauthenticated hotspot clients can access.
n LAN to serve as the hotspot LAN. See Hotspot LANconfiguration for important information
about selecting a LANfor the hotspot.
n IP Address and subnet mask for the hotspot.
n Interfaces for the hotspot LAN(Wifi and/or Ethernet).
Additional configuration items
n DHCP server lease timeout.
n Bandwidth limits.
n IP address or fully qualified domain name of the backup RADIUS server to be used if the
primary RADIUSserver is unreachable.
n Modify the local HTML authentication page, /hotspot/login.html, or identify a remote web
server to host the HTML authentication page and include that server in the "white list" of
servers that unauthenticated hotspot clients can access.
Hotspot LANconfiguration
Once you have selected a LANfor a hotspot, you have limited configuration capabilities for that LAN.
Most of its configuration (for example, its IP address and DHCP server) is set automatically by the
hotspot, and the LANis dedicated for use only by the hotspot. For this reason, you should select a
LANfor the hotspot that has not already been configured for use outside of hotspot functionality.
WARNING! Once you configure a LANfor use as the hotspot LAN, you can no longer access
the device's web interface or SSHserver via that LAN. Do not enable hotspot for the LAN
that you are using to access the device for other purposes. See Selecting a LAN to be used
by the hotspot for more information.
