1. RADIUS Client Mode - Determines from where the client can access the 9145E. Use the Space
Bar to cycle through RADIUS then Local, Local then RADIUS, and None.
2. RADIUS Server IP Address - Provides the IP address of the RADIUS server. Use Backspace to
remove an existing IP address and type in a new IP address.
RADIUS Server Shared Secret - This is the security question the user must answer before
remote access is allowed. Use Backspace to remove an existing question and type in a new
question. Questions are limited to 16 characters.
RADIUS Server Retries - Specifies the number of times a user can enter the wrong Shared
Secret response before they are locked out of the system. Enter a value between 0 and 10.
RADIUS Server Timeout - Specifies the length of time, in seconds, the server will wait for a
response before it times out. Enter a value between 1 and 30.
RADIUS Server Priority - Determines the order in which the RADIUS servers are consulted.
Enter a value between 1 and 255.
3.7 SNTP Client Configuration
Use the SNTP Client Configuration screen to configure the 9145E to use a primary and secondary SNTP
Server to automatically set the date and time. An accurate date and time in the 9145E assures accuracy
for events listed in the System Log and for traps and alarms sent to the system administrator. You can
choose either of two methods for setting the date and time, depending on your access to an external
network and your need for accuracy.
• For accuracy within a large network, you can set up the 9145E to synchronize the system date
and time to an SNTP server.
• The time and date can be set manually. Refer to “Set Date and Time” on page 67 for information to
set the date and time manually.
To configure SNTP, select SNTP Client Configuration (7) from the System Configuration menu and press
Enter. The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client Configuration screen (Figure 3-20) opens.
On the SNTP client Configuration screen, type the number of the SNTP setting to change and then press
Enter.
Use the Space Bar to cycle through predetermined settings, and press Enter.

1. SNTP Client UTC Offset (hours) - Set the difference, in hours, between the local time of the
9145E and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is similar to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT);
Range is -12 to 12
2. SNTP Client Observe DST - Enables/Disables Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time) and the
date and time it starts and ends.
3. SNTP Client Sync Interval (minutes) - Set how often, in minutes, that the 9145E tries to
synchronize its time to the SNTP server; Range is 0 (attempt to synchronize at bootup, only) to
1440 (once daily)
4. SNTP Client Delay Time (seconds) - Sets the delay for the initial SNTP request. If not zero, the
request will be sent at a random interval within the delay time. This is used to prevent multiple NID
requests at the same time in the event that all NIDs power down and power up at the same time.
