PAP, CHAP or EAP - The connection can be authenticated using PAP, CHAP or EAP.

CHAP or EAP - The connection can be authenticated using CHAP or EAP only.

EAP - The connection will only allow authentication by the peer using EAP.

Authentication/Tx Username

Write security: 1; Read security: 3

This is the username that is used when being authenticated by the PPP peer.

Authentication/Tx Password

Write security: 0; Read security: 1

This is the password or secret that is used when being authenticated by the PPP peer.

Authentication/Rx Username

Write security: 1; Read security: 3

This is the username that is used to match the user to the Connection List pro- file. During an incoming call, the Express XL/XLT will scan all active connec- tion profiles and match the received PPP peer’s username. If the name is not found, then the DEFAULT profile is used, if and only if the DEFAULT profile has nothing in the Rx Username parameter. During an outgoing call, this user- name does not have to match the username reported by the PPP peer.

Authentication/Rx Password

Write security: 0; Read security: 1

This is the password or secret that is used to authenticate the PPP peer. This is only necessary when Configuration/Security/Authentication = Connec- tion List.

Authentication/Caller ID

Write security: 1; Read security: 3

Incoming calls can be verified using the ISDN supplied caller identifier when this is set to Yes. When set to No (def), the caller identifier is not checked.
