Before You Install and Configure the Sample Residential Portal

Before you install and configure the sample residential portal:

Decide which behavior model the portal will use:
- Equipment registration behavior—The equipment registration example demonstrates an application that provides an association between a subscriber and the equipment being used to make the DHCP connection. This type of association is used in many cable environments.
- ISP service behavior—The ISP service example demonstrates an application that provides a means for subscribers to directly log in to a subscriber session for their ISP. The ISP service behavior is well suited for any environment in which subscribers connect directly to their ISP.
- Cable behavior—The cable behavior is provided for a PCMM environment in which an application creates a subscriber session.
(Optional) Set up subscriber authentication through RADIUS at portal login.
(Optional) Customize how the sample residential portal handles unrecognized IP subscribers.
