Parameter Description
Web: Authentication Table
EMS: SIP Endpoints > Authentication
[Authentication]
This ini file table parameter defines a user name and
password combination for authenticating each device port.
The format of this parameter is as follows:
[Authentication]
FORMAT Authentication_Index = Authentication_UserId,
Authentication_UserPassword, Authentication_Module,
Authentication_Port;
[\Authentication]
Where,
 UserId = User name
 UserPassword = Password
 Module = Module number (where 1 depicts the module in
Slot 1)
 Port = Port number (where 1 depicts the Port 1 of the
module)
For example:
[Authentication]
Authentication 0 = john,1325,1,1; (user name "john" with
password 1325 for authenticating Port 1 of Module 1)
Authentication 1 = lee,1552,1,2; (user name "lee" with
password 1552 for authenticating Port 2 of Module 1)
[\Authentication]
Notes:
 The indexing of this parameter starts at 0.
 The parameter AuthenticationMode determines whether
authentication is performed per port or for the entire device.
If authentication is performed for the entire device, the
configuration in this table parameter is ignored.
 If the user name or password are not configured, the port's
phone number (configured using the parameter
TrunkGroup - Trunk Group table) and global password
(using the individual parameter Password) are used for
authentication.
 Authentication is typically used for FXS interfaces, but can
also be used for FXO interfaces.
 For configuring the Authentication table using the Web
interface, refer to Configuring Authentication on page 212.
 For an explanation on using ini file table parameters, refer
to ''Format of ini File Table Parameters'' on page 273.
