Configuring UCME to send RADIUS events

Use Telnet to connect to the IP address of your UCME as shown below:

Single site configuration

Enter the following commands to enable the UCME to send RADIUS events to TIM Plus:

Multi-site configuration

 If you need to send the data to more than one server, such as TIM Plus and UCC server for example, you can set up multiple RADIUS connections in the phone system. To configure a multi-site system, follow the steps below:

Replace SITE_NAME with a unique name for the destination RADIUS information.
Replace SITE_IP with the IP address of the RADIUS server.
Replace SITE_KEY with the secret you want to assign to that specific site.

For a system with five or more RADIUS servers, it is recommended to amend the server retransmit options in the UCME, in order to reduce the stress on the phone system.

IP radius source-interface

To force RADIUS to use the IP address of a specified interface for all outgoing RADIUS packets, use the  command in global configuration mode.  If you don't wish to use the IP address of a specified interface, use the  form of this command.
