Dial-In PPP

users with the PAP protocol.

PAP or CHAP

Selecting this option means the router will attempt to

 

authenticate dial-in users with the CHAP protocol first. If the

 

dial-in user does not support this protocol, it will fall back to

 

use the PAP protocol for authentication.

Dial-In PPP Encryption

This option represents that the MPPE encryption method will

(MPPE Optional MPPE

be optionally employed in the router for the remote dial-in

 

user. If the remote dial-in user does not support the MPPE

 

encryption algorithm, the router will transmit “no MPPE

 

encrypted packets”. Otherwise, the MPPE encryption scheme

 

will be used to encrypt the data.

 

Require MPPE (40/128bits) - Selecting this option will force

 

the router to encrypt packets by using the MPPE encryption

 

algorithm. In addition, the remote dial-in user will use 40-bit

 

to perform encryption prior to using 128-bit for encryption.

 

In other words, if 128-bit MPPE encryption method is not

 

available, then 40-bit encryption scheme will be applied to

 

encrypt the data.

 

Maximum MPPE - This option indicates that the router will

 

use the MPPE encryption scheme with maximum bits

 

(128-bit) to encrypt the data.

Mutual Authentication

The Mutual Authentication function is mainly used to

(PAP)

communicate with other routers or clients who need

 

bi-directional authentication in order to provide stronger

 

security, for example, Cisco routers. So you should enable

 

this function when your peer router requires mutual

 

authentication. You should further specify the User Name

 

and Password of the mutual authentication peer.

Start IP Address

Enter a start IP address for the dial-in PPP connection. You

 

should choose an IP address from the local private network.

 

For example, if the local private network is

 

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, you could choose 192.168.1.200

 

as the Start IP Address. But, you have to notice that the first
