Auth Protocol

Select a PPPoE authentication protocol. The WiMAX Device supports the

 

following:

 

• PAP - Password Authentication Protocol uses unencrypted plaintext to send a

 

passwords for authentication over the network. It’s probably not a good idea

 

to rely on this for security.

 

• CHAP - The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) uses PPP

 

to authenticate remote devices using a three-way handshake and shared

 

secret verification.

 

• MS-CHAP v1/2 -This is Microsoft’s variant of Challenge Handshake

 

Authentication Protocol (CHAP). It allows for mutual authentication between

 

devices.

 

 

MPPE Encryption

Use this option to enable or disable authentication through Microsoft Point-To-

 

Point Encryption (MPPE) protocol.

 

 

MPPE Stateful

Use this option to allow or disallow the WiMAX Device to use the Microsoft Point-

 

To-Point Encryption (MPPE) protocol for stateful peer negotiation.

 

 

Idle Timeout

Enter the number of second the WiMAX Device waits during authentication

 

before timing out.

 

 

AC Name
