RouteFinder RF500S User Guide

Remote Connection Authentication Settings

When you select Allow Remote Dial-in, you must determine the method that remote users must use to
be authenticated on your system. If you choose the

PAP or CHAP authentication protocol, you must

select

Use Local Settings, Use Local Client List or Use RADIUS Server authentication.

Use Local Setting

You may create a

Remote User Name and Remote Password to log in to the system. All users

must type the same user name and password that you specify.

Use Local Client List

The Local Client list is a list of all User Names and Passwords that can access your network from
a remote site. When a remote user dials in to the RF500S, the user’s access profile information
(user name, password, callback status, etc.) is validated by checking the user information in this
list. The RF500S can include up to 64 users in the Local Client list. Click Local Client List to add
your remote users.

Important: The RF500S is set up with a default user of guest which requires no password. For
security reasons, either delete the guest user id guest or provide it with a password.

Client Information
For each new remote user added to the system, enter the following information:

User Name:
Specify a user name with a maximum of 16 characters.

Password:
Specify the password corresponding to the user name. Passwords are limited to 16 characters.

Password Verification:
Verify the password by re-entering the user password in the box provided.

Callback Type:
The callback feature provides an added level of security to your dial in system. A remote client
dials in to the network and then disconnects. The RF500S then calls the client back. The feature
can be implemented using

no callback, fixed callback or variable callback.

No Callback:
The RouteFinder does not perform a callback function. This is the default setting.

Fixed Callback:
The RouteFinder will connect to the client by dialing the number specified in the

Your

TelNumber field.

Variable Callback:
This option allows the remote client to specify the phone number the RouteFinder should callback
each time a dial up connection is established.
