Note: On June 14, 2000, the University of Michigan on behalf of Merit Network, Inc. licensed the Merit AAA Server technology to a new spin-off company named Interlink Networks, Inc.

Information about the simpler case of integrating the Merit AAA 4.22E server with the E-series router (without using the SDX application) is provided.

The SDX application can take advantage of a RADIUS server to authenticate against an LDAP server, which is used to store subscriber and service information, among other items.
