Dial-in PPP Link

Select the desired security option for log-in:

•PAP has widespread support; almost all communications systems support it. This is the default setting, and compatible with the default settings for Dial-up Networking in Windows.

•CHAP is more secure than PAP; the password is encrypted before transmission. If it is selected, the dial-in clients must also support CHAP in order to connect.

•MS CHAP is the Microsoft version of CHAP, used on Win- dows platforms. If all dial-in clients are using Windows 95 or later, you can choose this option.

•None means no checking is performed.

Warning!

If you choose "None", no User Name/Password authentication is

performed on dial-in. Anyone can connect; this is a major security risk.

Dial-in Users	Click this to open a sub-window which allows you to manage the
	users who can use the Dial-in feature.
	• By default, the "guest" user is defined, but does NOT have
	Dial-in permission.
	• If the PPP setting above is set to "None" (not recommended),
	then it is not necessary to create dial-in users.
	• While it is possible to all users to use the same User-
	name/password for Dial-in, the recommended approach is to
	create a separate entry for each person who needs Dial-in ac-
	cess.
Connection	Click this to open a sub-window which contains details of the
Status	current connection, if any, on the Serial Port. Refer to Connection
	Status - Serial Port in Chapter 5 for further details.
