established. Again, you can select any address for the Local IP Address but both must be in the

the Console Server
The Custom Modem Initialization option allows a custom AT string modem initialization string
to be entered (e.g. AT&C1&D3&K3)
Then select the Authentication Type to be applied to the dial-in connection. The Console Server
uses authentication to challenge Administrators who dial-in to the Console Server. (For dial-in
access, the username and password received from the dial-in client are verified against the local
authentication database stored on the Console Server). The Administrator must also have their
client computer configured to use the selected authentication scheme. Select PAP CHAP
MSCHAPv2 or None and click Apply
None With this selection, no username or password authentication is required for
dial-in access. This is not recommended.
PAP Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is the usual method of user
authentication used on the internet: sending a username and password to a
server where they are compared with a table of authorized users. Whilst most
common, PAP is the least secure of the authentication options.
CHAP Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is used to verify a user's
name and password for PPP Internet connections. It is more secure than PAP,
the other main authentication protocol.
MSCHAPv2 Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MSCHAP) is
authentication for PPP connections between a computer using a Microsoft
Windows operating system and a network access server. It is more secure than
PAP or CHAP, and is the only option that also supports data encryption
Console Servers all support dial-back for additional security. Check the Enable Dial-Back box and
enter the phone number to be called to re-establish an OoB link once a dial-in connection has
been logged
