Serial Port Configuration
RADIUS is an effective authentication method for dial-up services. In addition to dial-up services (PPP, SLIP,
and Dynamic), the NPort 6000 supports RADIUS settings for terminal applications and console management
applications. You will see it as an option for Authentication type when configuring the port’s operation mode.
Please refer to Chapter 7, Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes, for detailed information and configuration

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 worldwide. 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:
