send out PAP and/or CHAP requests as defined in the security settings, and the dial
in router PAP/CHAP settings must match.
If the 833IS is calling the dial up router, the dial up router may need to authenticate
the 833IS. The login (user) ID and password for the dial in router are entered in the
Remote System Login section of the LAN to LAN screen. On connection the dial in
router may request from the 833IS:
A login ID
A login ID and password
Neither a login ID and password
Fill in the fields as required by the dial in router. The 833IS supports both PAP and
CHAP authentication requests from the dial up router in this mode. Some routers
(for example, some Cisco routers) can be configured to request a login ID even if the
router is calling the 833IS. If the router calls the 833IS and requests a User ID and
Password, the 833IS will send a User ID of "P833" and a Password of "PERL". This
will not compromise security, as the 833IS must still authenticate the remote router
against the User ID and Password in the User Record before a connection can be
established.
Dialing the router If the 833IS is configured to call the dial up router, the phone number of the router is
configured in the "Primary Phone Number" field. When the 833IS needs to dial out,
it will use an available channel that is enabled for dial out. You may wish to ensure
that the 833IS always has a channel to dial the router. This can be done by enabling
"Reserve Channel" and selecting the reserved channel from the drop down menu.
If the call type is defined as analog, a modem enabled for callback will also be
required. If no modem is available, the dial out will not occur.
If "Enable Multilink PPP" is enabled, the 833IS will use two channels to connect to
the dial out router. Enter the phone number for the second channel in the "Secondary
Phone Number" field.
Callback should not be used to have the 833IS call the dial in router. If callback is
used, the router will be treated as a standard dialup client. Routing information will
not be exchanged, and the LAN to LAN connection timers will not be used. Always
use the dial out parameters reserved for the LAN to LAN function.
