Description
The remote authentication settings are configured using three menu items:
z Remote authentication method —Defines the remote authentication method as one
of the following options:
z PAP specifies the method that uses a two-way handshake that is done only
upon initial link establishment.
z CHAP specifies the method that verifies the identity of the peer by using a
three-way handshake that is done upon initial link establishment. Verification
may be repeated any time after the link has been established. CHAP also

authentication.
