Authentication The type of authentication that will be done on the link. You can use PAP or
CHAP (MD5-CHAP, MS-CHAPv1 and MS-CHAPv2) to authenticate a user or
client on the IOLAN. When setting either PAP and CHAP, make sure the
IOLAN and the PPP peer, have the same setting. For example, if the IOLAN is
set to PAP, but the remote end is set to CHAP, the connection will be refused.
Data Options:
None - no authentication will be performed.
PAP—is a one time challenge of a client/device requiring that it respond with a
valid username and password. A timer operates during which successful
authentication must take place. If the timer expires before the remote end has
been authenticated successfully, the link will be terminated.
CHAP—challenges a client/device at regular intervals to validate itself with a
username and a response, based on a hash of the secret (password). A timer
operates during which successful authentication must take place. If the timer
expires before the remote end has been authenticated successfully, the link will
be terminated. MD5-CHAP and Microsoft MS-CHAPv1/MS-CHAPv2 are
supported. The IOLAN will attempt MS-CHAPv2 with MPPC compression,
but will negotiate to the variation of CHAP, compression and encryption that
the remote peer wants to use.
Default: CHAP
