In Local+remote mode, the modem accepts commands from any user
interface at any time.
Table 6-33 Modem Control
Passwords for the administrator (login name admin) and user (login name user) can be
changed (the default password for both is paradise). Administrators can both view and
control the modem whereas other users can only view modem web pages. Multiple users
can be logged on at the same time. When the administrator password is changed then
the modem’s web user interface will issue an immediate new login request, which needs
to be completed using the new password.
6.2.6.2 RADIUS Server IP Address and Fallback Address
The modem supports a RADIUS client that communicates with the server in order to
authenticate each user and to provide the authorised level of access (administrator or
view-only). This allows users to log in using their personal organization login credentials.
All login and configuration change activities are recorded in the modem’s log, giving
greater visibility and accountability.
Server
IP address
This sets the IP address for a network server that supports the RADIUS
AAA server to be used for authenticating users’ login credentials.
Fallback
server IP
address
This sets the IP address for a fallback RADIUS network server, to be used
in the event that the primary server cannot be contacted. The timeout
period is specified by the Server timeout value.
Table 6-34 RADIUS Server IP Address and Fallback Address
6.2.6.3 RADIUS Shared Secret
The Shared secret is a user-assigned alphanumeric string, which is used as an
authentication key (essentially a password) between the RADIUS client in the modem
and the RADIUS server on the network.
