Perle Systems SCS, STS manual Remote User

Serial Port Profiles

User	Complete this field only if you have specified PAP or CHAP (security
	protocols) in the Authentication field, and
	z you wish to dedicate this line to a single remote user, who will be
	authenticated by the IOLAN, or
	z you are using the IOLAN as a router (back-to-back with another IOLAN).
	When Connect is set to Dial Out or both Dial In/Dial Out are enabled, the User
	is the name the remote device will use to authenticate a port on this IOLAN.
	The remote device will only authenticate your IOLAN’s port when PAP or
	CHAP are operating. You can enter a maximum of sixteen alphanumeric
	characters; for example, tracy201. When connecting together two networks,
	enter a dummy user name; for example, DS_HQ.
	Note If you want a reasonable level of security, the user name and password
	should not be similar to a user name or password used regularly to login to the
	IOLAN. External authentication can not be used for this user.
Password	Complete this field only if you have specified PAP or CHAP (security
	protocols) in the Security field and:

	Password means the following:
	z When PAP is specified, this is the password the remote device will use to
	authenticate the port on this IOLAN.
	z When CHAP is specified, this is the secret (password) known to both ends
	of the link upon which responses to challenges shall be based.
