Remote Node Configuration 53
• PAP sends the user name and password in plain text.
• CHAP scrambles the password before it is sent over the
wire.
Generally speaking, CHAP is more secure than PAP; however,
PAP is readily available on more platforms. The
recommendation is to use CHAP whenever possible. Turning
off the authentication is STRONGLY discouraged.
Options for this field are:
• CHAP/PAP - Prestige will try CHAP when CHAP is
requested by the Remote Node or PAP when PAP is
requested by the Remote Node.
• CHAP - use CHAP only.
• PAP - use PAP only.
11. Outgoing: Pri(mary) Phone Sec(ondary) Phone Number -
Both the Primary Phone number and the Secondary Phone
number refer to the number that the Prestige will dial to
connect to the Remote Node. The Prestige will always call the
Remote Node using the Primary Phone number first. If the
Primary Phone number is busy or does not answer, the Prestige
will call the Secondary Phone number if available. Once
connected, the Prestige will use the BACP (Bandwidth
Allocation Control Protocol) to establish the second B-channel
if Multilink PPP is enabled, and the Remote Node supports MP
and BACP.
Some areas require dialing # before the phone number for local
calls. A # symbol may be included at the beginning of the
Primary Phone number or Secondary Phone number.
12. Route - This fields determines the protocols that the Prestige
will route. The choices for this field are determined by the
features enabled on your Prestige.
