Installing the Software

You will need the Steel-Belted Radius/SPE software CD and a valid license string. Use the procedure that is appropriate for your installation.

Note: For the remainder of the document, we assume that Steel-Belted Radius/SPE is installed in the directory /opt/UMC/SPE.

First-Time Installations

To install the software for the first time:

3. Stop the server by typing:

./S90radius stop

4. Change to your working directory. Unconfigure the previous installation, which removes the start-up script and some entries in the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files, which are used by the previously installed Steel-Belted Radius/SPE server. Type:

sh install.sh -unconfig

5. When prompted, enter the path of the existing server directory.

    Previous configuration files exist

    Configuration files exist in <server_directory>

    Do you want to discard them? [n]
