Serial Port Profiles
Remote Password Complete this field only if you have specified PAP or CHAP (security
protocols) in the
Security field, and
z you wish to dedicate this serial port to a single remote user, and this user
will be authenticated by the IOLAN, or
z you are using the IOLAN as a router (back-to-back with another IOLAN)
Remote password means the following:
z When PAP is specified, this is the password the IOLAN will use to
authenticate the remote device.
z When CHAP is specified, this is the secret (password) known to both ends
of the link upon which responses to challenges will be based.
Remote Password is the opposite of the parameter Password. Your IOLAN
will only authenticate the remote device when
PAP or CHAP is operating.
Field Format: You can enter a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters.
Authentication
Timeout
The timeout, in minutes, during which successful PAP or CHAP authentication
must take place (when
PAP or CHAP are specified). If the timer expires before
the remote end has been authenticated successfully, the link will be terminated.
Range: 1-255
Default: 1 minute
CHAP Challenge
Interval
The interval, in minutes, for which the IOLAN will issue a CHAP re-challenge
to the remote end. During CHAP authentication, an initial CHAP challenge
takes place, and is unrelated to CHAP re-challenges. The initial challenge takes
place even if re-challenges are disabled. Some PPP client software does not
work with CHAP re-challenges, so you might want to leave the parameter
disabled in the IOLAN.
Range: 0-255
Default: 0 (zero), meaning CHAP re-challenge is disabled
Enable Roaming
Callback
A user can enter a telephone number that the IOLAN will use to callback
him/her. This feature is particularly useful for a mobile user. Roaming callback
can only work when the
User Enable Callback parameter is enabled. Enable
Roaming Callback therefore overrides (fixed) User Enable Callback.To use
Enable Roaming Callback, the remote end must be a Microsoft Windows OS
that supports Microsoft’s Callback Control Protocol (CBCP). The user is
allowed 30 seconds to enter a telephone number after which the IOLAN ends
the call.
Default: Disabled
