Use the Accounting Admin window to to configure the RADIUS client for transporting call accounting information from the SBC Core to a RADIUS sever.

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a standardized protocol for supporting Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management in a distributed client-server architecture. The SBC can map CDR fields and other input parameters to attributes (standard as well as vendor-specific attributes) in RADIUS call-accounting records. The SBC, acting as a RADIUS client, can send the call-accounting records to an external RADIUS server.

To View and Edit Accounting Admin Parameters
