Additional Information

You can specify multiple RADIUS servers by issuing this command for each server. The BTI7800 attempts to connect to the first RADIUS server entered. If the BTI7800 fails to connect to the server after the specified number of attempts and timeouts, the BTI7800 tries the next server in the list, and so on.
