ACE Authentication Server

system will send an access request retry if the primary server does not respond. After the
configured number of retries, the system will request authentication information from the
secondary server if one is configured. The connection will be released if neither server responds to
the access requests.

Note:

For user level security, the CyberSWITCH’s default Telnet port number is 7000, not the
normal default (23).
