2.To enable CNA-authentication, select Calling Number Authentication in the Default Answer Profile screen and choose one of the following settings:

Ignored: Calling Number Authentication (CNA) is not in effect.

Preferred: This is the default setting. Authentication is attempted if the calling number is available. If authentication fails, or the calling number is not available, the call proceeds as usual and the caller may still connect successfully. Use this setting if you expect to receive both regular and CNA-authenticated calls.

Required: Authentication is attempted if the calling number is available. If authentication fails, or the calling number is not available, the Netopia R3100 disconnects the caller. Use this setting if you require all calls to be CNA-authenticated.

Calling Number Authentication (CNA), is an application of CallerID. It is a method of verifying that an incoming call is originating from an expected site. Using CNA, you can increase the security of your network by requiring that callers not only possess the correct PPP authentication information, but also are calling from a particular physical location.
