Security/Options
The purpose of this window is to define security information and miscellaneous options
pertaining to this Adit. The security portion of this window allows the setup of
password or secret (depending on the chosen security protocol) that this remote device
will use during the authentication process. Also the setup of authentication on the LAN
of the local Adit unit or a specified security server.
Authentication is a security process whereby the transmitting and receiving devices
determine which security protocol to use during data transmission, as well as establish
confirmation identity. This authentication process must match between the receiving
and transmitting devices prior to actual data transmission, if the process fails, the link
is terminated. The protocol used by the remote unit to authenticate the local unit and
vice versa is defined in the LAN Profile.
