∙PAP sends the user name and password in plain text.

∙CHAP scrambles the password before it is sent over the wire.

Generally speaking, CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on more platforms. The recommendation is to use CHAP whenever possible. Turning off the authentication is STRONGLY discouraged.

Options for this field are:

∙CHAP/PAP - Prestige will try CHAP when CHAP is requested by the Remote Node or PAP when PAP is requested by the Remote Node.

∙CHAP - use CHAP only.

∙PAP - use PAP only.

11.Outgoing: Pri(mary) Phone Sec(ondary) Phone Number - Both the Primary Phone number and the Secondary Phone number refer to the number that the Prestige will dial to connect to the Remote Node. The Prestige will always call the Remote Node using the Primary Phone number first. If the Primary Phone number is busy or does not answer, the Prestige will call the Secondary Phone number if available. Once connected, the Prestige will use the BACP (Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol) to establish the second B-channel if Multilink PPP is enabled, and the Remote Node supports MP and BACP.

Some areas require dialing # before the phone number for local calls. A # symbol may be included at the beginning of the Primary Phone number or Secondary Phone number.

12.Route - This fields determines the protocols that the Prestige will route. The choices for this field are determined by the features enabled on your Prestige.
