User Database User Database Security uses the user ID and password stored within an 833IS User
database. This database could be configured on the Local 833IS or on a remote
833IS. When the remote Client connects, it communicates with the 833IS using
either the CHAP or PAP security protocols. If the user ID and password provided by
the client matches the user ID and password within a Perle User database, the user
will be granted access. The User Database Security configuration screen is as
follows:
Authentication Protocol
Click on the check box to enable CHAP or PAP authentication protocols. If both are
checked, the 833IS will first attempt to authenticate using CHAP. If CHAP is not
supported by the client, the 833IS will then use PAP.
