If your network has a RADIUS server, you can configure the Branch Gateway to use RADIUS authentication. A RADIUS server provides centralized authentication service for many devices on a network. When you use RADIUS authentication, you do not need to configure usernames and passwords on the Branch Gateway. When you try to access the Branch Gateway, the Branch Gateway searches for your user name and password in its own database first. If it does not find them, it activates RADIUS authentication.

For additional information on RADIUS configuration and authentication, go to the Avaya website at http://www.avaya.com/support, and search for the document Avaya RADIUS Configuration Overview.
