Security Setup Menu Fields

Authentication by Remote

Protocol: CHAP, PAP or NONE

Use this first field to identify the authentication protocol to be used by remote units when
authenticating this unit.

<CHAP> Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol

<CHAP> Secret

Select

[E

NTER

]

and a NEW Password dialog box will display. Enter a 1 - 15 character

password and select

[E

NTER

]

and a RETYPE Password dialog box will display. Retype

password and select

[E

NTER

]

. Password is now set.

<PAP> Password Authentication Protocol

<PAP> Password

Same as above <CHAP> Password.

<NONE > (no authentication protocol) is the default.

User ID

Use this field to define the local unit’s User ID. During the authentication process, the local unit will
send a name or User ID, along with the authentication protocol’s secret or password (see above). Use
the

[S

PACEBAR

] to scroll between <Local Profile Name> (the default value) and <Local Custom

Name>. If set at <Local Profile Name>, the local unit will send the 11 character unit name which
was defined on the Local (LAN) Profile screen. If this field is set to <Local Custom Name> you may
define a 32 character maximum alphanumeric value to represent the User ID which is sent during the
authentication process. Defining a custom User ID simply gives the end user more flexibility for this
value.

To assign a custom User ID, set the USER ID field to <Local Custom Name> and press [

T

AB

]. Up

to ten (10) custom names may be configured.
