Authentication Type
Select one of the following authentication settings: Auto, CHAP or PAP. The default setting is “Auto” (automatic authentication).
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is the most common
authentication method using PPP dialup method. With CHAP, the server will send a challenging signal to a remote Router, which will send back an encryption key.
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a simple PPP authentication protocol allowing a Router to send a simple user ID and password to another Router for authentication. PAP has been defined in RFC1334.
