8. If you have additional RADIUS servers, click the More Entries button. Fields for
four additional servers appear. Enter the same information in Step 2 through
Step 7 for each additional server.
9. Select an authentication protocol from the drop−down list in the Global
Authentication Type field. Your choices are:
S PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
S CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
CHAP is generally considered more secure because the user name and password are
encrypted, while in PAP they are transmitted in the clear.
10. Click Apply. RADIUS authentication is now in place.
Setting Up Outlets and Power Thresholds
The ePDU is shipped with certain ePDU and outlet power thresholds already defined.
You can change the default ePDU thresholds, and you can give each outlet a name
and change its default thresholds.
When setting the thresholds, keep in mind that you can set up alerts that are
triggered whenever any of these thresholds are crossed. See Setting Up Alerts" on
page 62 for details.
