Setting up UNIX Hosts
Moxa recommends the FreeRADIUS server for UNIX users. FreeRADIUS is the premiere open-source RADIUS
server and is one of the top five RADIUS servers in use world-wide. It is effective for both embedded systems
with small amounts of memory and for systems with millions of users. It is fast, flexible, and configurable, and
it supports more authentication protocols than many commercial servers.
The server is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which means that it is free to download and
install. FreeRADIUS can be downloaded from the following website:
