n Authentication Configuration:
l User Name: Specifies the user name for this connection. The user provides the user name
and password when connecting to the device. This user name must be unique to the device
so that no other incoming PPP connection, outgoing PPP connection, or system user uses
it.
l Password/Confirm Password: Specifies the password for this connection. This is the
password that the user specifies when connecting and logging into the device.
l Associate with "ANYBODY": Select this check box when multiple PPPusers will connect to
one or more serial ports. When you clear this check box, there is only one user dedicated to
the selected ports.
l Authentication: Specifies the type of authentication required by this PPP connection. You
must supply the same type of authentication for your dial-up connection as specified here
in order to successfully connect.
NONE: No authentication is required.This is the recommended default for authentication.
CHAP: CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) provides secure encrypted
authentication. CHAP periodically verifies the identity of the peer using a 3-way handshake.
This is done upon initial link establishment and may be repeated anytime after the link has
been established. (See RFC 1334 for further details.) CHAP authentication will work
between two ConnectPort LTS devices.
Note ConnectPort LTS does not support MS-CHAP (Microsoft specific implementation of
CHAP).
PAP: Many ISPs and corporate PPP servers use PAP (Password Authentication Protocol).
PAP provides a simple method for the peer to establish its identity using a 2-way
handshake. This is done only upon link establishment. (See RFC 1334 for further details.)
BOTH: CHAP authentication will work between two ConnectPort LTS products. CHAP will
be negotiated to PAP for all other connections.
