Black Box Console Server user guide 86
User Complete this field only if you:
• have specified PAP or CHAP (security protocols) in the ‘Security’ field, and
• you wish to dedicate this line to a single remote user, and this user will be
authenticated by the unit, or
• you are using the unit as a router (back-to-back with another unit).
‘User’ is the name the remote device will use to authenticate a port on this unit (the
opposite of the parameter ‘Remote User’). The remote device will only authenticate
your unit’s port when PAP or CHAP are operating. You can enter a maximum of
sixteen alphanumeric characters, e.g. kevinc8 (or, in the cli, example syntax would
be set ppp li 1 user kevinc8)
When connecting together two networks, enter a dummy user name; e.g. CS_HQ.
Note If you want a reasonable level of security the user name and password should not
be similar to a user name or password used regularly to login to the unit.
Password Complete this field only if you:
• have specified PAP or CHAP (security protocols) in the ‘Security’ field, and
• you wish to dedicate this line to a single remote user, and this user will be
authenticated by the unit, or
• you are using the unit as a router (back-to-back with another unit).
‘Password’ means the following:
in the ‘Security’ field, when you have specified PAP ‘Password’ is the password the
remote device will use to authenticate the port on this unit (the opposite of the
parameter ‘Remote Password’). The remote device will only authenticate your unit’s
port when PAP or CHAP are operating.
in the ‘Security’ field, when you have specified CHAP ‘Password’ is the secret
(password) known to both ends of the link upon which responses to challenges shall
be based. The remote device will only authenticate your unit’s port when PAP or
CHAP are operating.
In both cases, you can enter a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters; (in the cli,
example syntax would be: set ppp I 7 password ******)
Remote User Complete this field only if you:
• have specified PAP or CHAP (security protocols) in the ‘Security’ field, and
