NAS Network Access Server. A server that provides endpoints with network access
and that enforces the decisions of AAA servers, thereby guarding access to the
Internet, printers, phone networks, or other protected resources. While a NAS
does not contain information about which endpoints and end-users can con-
nect, it does send an end-user’s credentials to the AAA server, which processes
them and directs the NAS how to proceed.
NAS ID NAS identifier. Typically, the NAS ID is the IP address of the NAS, but the NAS
ID of a TMS zl Module is the hostname that you specify on System > Settings >
