Serial Port Profiles

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, who will be
	authenticated by the IOLAN, or
	z you are using the IOLAN as a router (back-to-back with another IOLAN)
	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.
	Field Format: You can enter a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters.
Remote User	Complete this field only if you have specified PAP or CHAP (security
	protocols) in the Security 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 Dial In or Dial In/Dial Out is enabled, the Remote User is the name the
	IOLAN will use to authenticate the port on the remote device. Your IOLAN
	will only authenticate the port on the remote device when PAP or CHAP are
	operating. When connecting together two networks, enter a dummy user name;
	for example, DS_SALES.
	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. This option does not work with external authentication.
	Field Format: You can enter a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters.

Remote Password Complete this field only if you have specified PAP or CHAP (security protocols) in the Security field, and
