DESCRIPTION

Dial String

Enter the dial string if your ISP provides a string, which would include

 

the APN, to initialize the 3G card.

 

You can enter up to 63 ASCII printable characters. Spaces are

 

allowed.

 

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

 

 

Authentication

The ZyWALL supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and

Type

CHAP (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:

 

None: No authentication for outgoing calls.

 

CHAP - Your ZyWALL accepts CHAP requests only.

 

PAP - Your ZyWALL accepts PAP requests only.

PIN Code

This field displays with a GSM or HSDPA 3G card. 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 4-digit PIN code (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.
