When starting the Evolynx RADIUS service using Services applet or Evolynx Controller tool, make sure its current state is “Started” to “Running”.
Check Windows Event Viewer to see if there is any error messages from EvolynxRadius service. These events are displayed under “Evolynx RADIUS Server Events” Log.
If you find erros like “An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions”, make sure no other RADIUS server is running on that server. Most of the time, IAS (Internet Authentication Service) which comes with Windows Operating System is using the same ports as Evolynx RADIUS.
If you are evaluating the software, note that Evolynx RADIUS server will not work more than 30 days without a valid license file.
Make sure you have defined the client IP Address and Secret in “Clients.txt” file. Even if you are running the Test Tool from same computer as the server is running, you need to define that computer as a client.
By default, Evolynx RADIUS will use a MS-SQL server database on the same computer as the RADIUS service is running. If you are using another computer as the database server, or you want to use another type of database, you need to use the correct “Connection String” defined in config file.

“Invalid Packet Authenticator” : 99% of the time the problem is that the client secret at server side does not match the secret at client side.
