4.7.4 Security > Authentication
There are two methods whereby a user may be authenticated for access to the IPn3G:
 Local
Using the Admin or Upgrade access and associated passwords - the authentication is
done ‘locally’ within the IPn3G, and
 RADIUS&Local
RADIUS authentication (using a specific user name and password supplied by your
RADIUS Server Administrator) - this authentication would be done ‘remotely’ by a
RADIUS Server; if this authentication fails, proceed with Local authentication as per
above.
