Access Point

Select this option and enter the APN (Access Point Name) if your ISP gives you the

APN only. Connections with different APNs may provide different services (such as

 

 

Internet access or MMS (Multi-Media Messaging Service)) and charge methods.

This field is available only when you insert a GSM 3G card.

This field is available only when you insert a GSM 3G card.

 

 

 

 

Authentication

The ZyWALL supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP

 

Type

(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP;

 

 

however, PAP is readily available on more platforms.

 

 

Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.

 

 

Options are:

 

 

CHAP/PAP - Your ZyWALL accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by the

 

 

ISP.

 

 

CHAP - Your ZyWALL accepts CHAP only.

 

 

PAP - Your ZyWALL accepts PAP only.

 

 

None - Your ZyWALL does not send your user name and password for

 

 

authentication. The user name and password fields are grayed out. Select this

 

 

option if your ISP did not give you a user name and password.

 

 

 

 

User Name

Type the user name (of up to 31 ASCII printable characters) given to you by your

 

 

service provider.

 

 

 

 

Password

Type the password (of up to 31 ASCII printable characters) associated with the

 

 

user name above.

 

 

 

 

Retype to

Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.

PIN Code

A PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a key to a 3G card. Without the PIN

 

 

code, you cannot use the 3G card.

 

 

Enter the PIN code (four to eight digits, 0000 for example) provided by your ISP. If

 

 

you enter the PIN code incorrectly, the 3G card may be blocked by your ISP and

 

 

you cannot use the account to access the Internet.

 

 

If your ISP disabled PIN code authentication, enter an arbitrary number.

 

 

This field is available only when you insert a GSM 3G card.
