Serial Port Profiles
User Complete this field only if you have specified PAP or CHAP (security
protocols) in the
Authentication field, and

authenticated by the IOLAN, or

When
Connect is set to Dial Out or both Dial In/Dial Out are enabled, the User
is the name the remote device will use to authenticate a port on this IOLAN.

characters; for example, tracy201. When connecting together two networks,
enter a dummy user name; for example, DS_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
IOLAN. External authentication can not be used for this user.
