5.6.2 SM – Technician/Installer/Administrator Authentication
To control technician, installer, and administrator access to the SM from a centralized RADIUS
server:
1. Set Authentication Mode on the AP’s Configuration > Security tab to AAA
(RADIUS)
2. Set User Authentication Mode on the AP’s Account > User Authentication and
Accounting tab (the tab only appears after the AP is set to AAA authentication) to
Remote or Remote then Local.
3. Set User Authentication Mode on the SM’s Account > User Authentication and
Accounting tab to Remote or Remote then Local as shown in Figure 6: SM's
Account > User Authentication tab.
 Local: The local SM is checked for accounts. No centralized RADIUS
accounting (access control) is performed.
 Remote: Authentication by the centralized RADIUS server is required to gain
access to the SM if the SM is registered to an AP that has AAA (RADIUS)
Authentication Mode selected. For up to 2 minutes a test pattern will be
displayed until the server responds or times out.
 Remote then Local: Authentication using the centralized RADIUS server is
attempted. If the server sends a reject message, then the setting of Allow
Local Login after Reject from AAA determines if the local user database is
checked or not. If the configured servers do not respond within 2 minutes,
then the local user database is used. The successful login method is
displayed in the SM’s menu.
