18.6.5  Configuring Authentication 
The Authentication page defines a user name and password for authenticating each device 
port. Authentication is typically used for FXS interfaces, but can also be used for FXO 
interfaces. 
 
 
Notes:  
•  For configuring whether authentication is performed per port or for the 
entire device, use the parameter AuthenticationMode. If authentication is 
for the entire device, the configuration on this page is ignored. 
•  If either the user name or password fields are omitted, the port's phone 
number and global password (using the Password parameter) are used 
instead. 
•  After you click Submit, the password is displayed as an asterisk (*). 
•  You can also configure Authentication using the ini file table parameter 
Authentication (see 'Configuration Parameters Reference' on page 541). 
 
  To configure the Authentication Table: 
1.  Set the parameter 'Authentication Mode' (AuthenticationMode) to Per Endpoint. 
2.  Open the Authentication page (Configuration tab > VoIP menu > GW and IP to IP 
submenu > Analog Gateway submenu > Authentication).

and password respectively. 
4.  Click Submit to apply your changes. 
5.  To save the changes to flash memory, see 'Saving Configuration' on page 482.
