Hayes Microcomputer Products DIVA T/A ISDN manual Using PPP and Multilink PPP

Using PPP and Multilink PPP

If you want to use PPP or Multilink PPP to access a SecurID server, ask your administrator:

•what type of remote access server device they use (Shiva or Ascend)

•if the server supports PPP or Multilink PPP

If these conditions are not met, you cannot use PPP or Multilink PPP with SecurID. If the conditions are met, refer to the server type you are using below

Shiva Server

If you want to use PPP or Multilink PPP to access a Shiva SecurID server, you may have to install one of the following:

•Shiva’s “Security Pack” (a special patch for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0)

•Shiva’s “DialIn” (replacement software for Wi ndows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 Dial-Up Networking)

These patches are either available from your system administrator or at Shiva’s ftp site: ftp://ftp.shiva.com/software/client/dial-in/. They add SPAP functionality to Windows. You require this added functionality to make a SecurID connection.

If you have trouble logging into a SecurID server, contact your administrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Ascend Server

The Ascend Remote Access Server uses the PAP Token / CHAP protocol and does not require the installation of a patch.

When using PAP Token / CHAP, your administrator will give you a username and two passwords. One of the passwords is static and the other is your token.

You should configure Dial-Up Networking as normal and when prompted for your password, enter the static password.
