MediaPack SIP User’s Manual  5. Configuring the MediaPack 
Version 4.6  101  June 2005 
5.5.8 Configuring the Endpoint Settings 
The Endpoint Settings screens enable you to configure port-specific parameters. 
5.5.8.1 Authentication 
The Authentication Table (normally used with FXS gateways) defines a username and password 
combination for authentication for each MediaPack port. 
The ‘Authentication Mode’ parameter (described in Table 
 5-2) determines if authentication is 
performed per port or for the entire gateway. If authentication is performed for the entire gateway, 
this table is ignored. 
Note that if either the username or password field is omitted, the port’s phone number (defined in 
Table  5-18) and global password (refer to the parameter ‘Password’ described in Table 
 5-2) are 
used instead. 
¾  To configure the Authentication Table, take these 6 steps: 
1.  Set the ‘Authentication Mode’ parameter to ‘Authentication per Endpoint’. 
2.  Open the ‘Authentication’ screen (Protocol Management menu > Endpoint Settings > 
Authentication option); the ‘Authentication’ screen is displayed.

3.  In the ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’ fields for a port, enter the username and password 
combination respectively. 
4.  Repeat step 4 for each port. 
5.  Click the Submit button to save your changes. 
6.  To save the changes so they are available after a power fail, refer to Section 
 5.9 on page 
161. 
Table 
 5-20: Authentication ini File Parameter 
Parameter Name in ini File  Parameter Format 
Authentication_x 
Authentication_<Port Number> = <Username>,<Password> 
 
For example: 
Authentication_0 = david,14325 
Authentication_1 = Alex,18552 
 
Note: Using the sign ‘$$’ enables the user to omit either the username or 
the password. For instance, Authentication_5 = $$, 152. In this case, 
endpoint 5’s phone number is used instead of username.
