Using the Client Classes & Attributes tab in Radius Client Properties panel

The Client Classes & Attributes is one of the tabs in the Radius Client Properties
Panel. This panel allows you to perform the following actions using the action buttons:

Insert Row Wizard

Insert a record

Edit selected record

Authentication Timeout

Specifies the time, in milliseconds, the Policy server
will wait before it discards authentication requests.
This overrides the Client Timeout value for
authentications only.

Accounting Timeout

Specifies the time, in milliseconds, the Policy server
will wait before it discards accounting requests. This
overrides the Client Timeout value for accounting
requests only.

Character Set for Encoding

Specifies the character set to use to encode string
attributes in requests.

Truncate Attributes at First NUL

Yes or No option. If enabled, attributes are truncated
at the first NUL found in the value. If disabled, the
attribute values are not truncated. This enables
support for NAS devices that send NUL characters
in their attributes.

Add NUL to String Attributes

Yes or No option. If enabled, a NUL is appended to
the end of plain string attributes in response requests
to the NAS. This enables support for NAS devices
that send NUL characters in their attributes.

Check Duplicates

Yes or No option. If enabled, the server checks to
see if the request received is a duplicate of a
previously received request. Duplicates are detected
by a combination of the Source IP, Source Port, and
Packet Authenticator. The default setting is true.
This property can be set on a pre-client basis in the
Client Properties.

Check Authenticators

The drop-down list box displays the Auto, On, or
OFF options. If enabled, the Policy server checks
the request authenticator and if not verified, the
request is dropped.
