Table 6-1. Fields in Menu 13 - Default Dial-in Setup

Field

Description

 

 

Telco Options:

 

CLID Authen

This field sets the CLID authentication parameter for all incoming calls.

 

The three options for this field are:

 

• None—No CLID is required (default).

 

• Required—You must provide the CLID, or the call is disconnected.

 

• Preferred—If the CLID is available, it is used to do authentication. If the

 

CLID is not available, the call continues.

 

 

PPP Options:

 

Recv Authen

This field sets the authentication protocol used for incoming calls.

 

The four options for this field are:

 

• CHAP/PAP—The router tries CHAP first, but PAP is used if CHAP is not

 

available (default).

 

• CHAP—Use CHAP only.

 

• PAP—Use PAP only.

 

• None—No authentication is required.

Compression

This field allows the negotiation of data compression with the equipment of

 

the dial-in user.

Mutual Authen

Some vendors (for example, Cisco Systems) implement a type of mutual

 

authentication. That is, the node that initiates the call requests a user

 

name and password from the far end that it is dialing to. If the remote node

 

that is dialing in implements this type of authentication, set this field to Yes.

 

Choose one of the following for setting PAP:

 

• PAP Login—This field is enabled only if the Mutual Authen field is

 

set to Yes. Enter the login name to be used to respond to the PAP

 

authentication request of the far end. This field does not apply to CHAP

 

authentication.

 

• PAP Password—This field is enabled only if the Mutual Authen field is

 

set to Yes. Enter the PAP password to be used to respond to the

 

authentication request of the far end. This field does not apply to CHAP

 

authentication.
