Serial Port Profiles

Remote Password

Complete this field only if you have specified PAP or CHAP (security

 

protocols) in the Security field, and

 

z you wish to dedicate this serial port to a single remote user, and this user

 

will be authenticated by the IOLAN, or

 

z you are using the IOLAN as a router (back-to-back with another IOLAN)

 

Remote password means the following:

 

z When PAP is specified, this is the password the IOLAN will use to

 

authenticate the remote device.

 

z When CHAP is specified, this is the secret (password) known to both ends

 

of the link upon which responses to challenges will be based.

 

Remote Password is the opposite of the parameter Password. Your IOLAN

 

will only authenticate the remote device when PAP or CHAP is operating.

 

Field Format: You can enter a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters.
