3. Modify "clients" file in Radius Folder and add Prestige IP like the following:
 
# This file contains a list of clients which are allowed to make 
# authentication requests and their encryption key.
# The first field is a valid hostname for the client.
# The second field (seperated by blanks or tabs) is the encryption key.
#
#Client Name      Key
#---------------- -------------------
#portmaster1      testing123
203.66.113.187    key187 
Note:
The new client 203.66.113.187 is the Prestige router. The key 'key187' will be configured in SMT Menu 23.2.

4. Modify "users" file in Radius Folder and add the following entries:
 
# Example PPP user with address Assigned by PortMaster. This is the most # commonly used entry in the users file.
#
# Username     Password= "  " 
#---------------------------------------------------------- 
ray            Password = "12345"
#
# Callback Example 
# Username     Password= "  " 
#---------------------------------------------------------- 
test           Password = "1234"
               ZyXEL-Callback-Option = Mandatory,
                       ZyXEL-Callback-Phone-Source = Preconfigured

Menu 23.2 - System Security - External Server

Authentication Server:
Active= Yes
Type= RADIUS
Server Address= 203.66.113.10 
Port #= 1645
Key= key187 

Key Settings:

7. Please check prestige SMT menu 14 that no duplicate user name setting there compared to "users" file in step 4.

8. Then you can start the dial-in procedure from client side and have the RADIUS function done to do the password checking task for prestige.

Once you use "ray" as login name and "12345" as password, you can login sucessfully as a dial-in user.
