Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series

in hashed form by CHAP. Sometimes CHAP can not be supported by the ISP. You may set

[S87.2=1] to use PAP only. If you do not want to do authentication at all, set [S118.3=1] to disable the conversion.

CHAP is described in RFC1994 and PAP is described in RFC1334. The only hash method supported by CHAP is MD5; MS-CHAP is not supported yet. Presently, authentication conversion works for clients only.

NOTE: Disabling authentication may cause problems in Windows 95.

ATS118.3 = 1

 

 

Disable authentication conversion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ATS87.2 = 0

Compression Control Protocol (CCP)

The ISDN channel can be utilized more effectively when using compression. Compression Control Protocol (CCP) is used by PPP to negotiate compression methods between peers.

CCP starts after the PPP reaches the network phase. Both ends must support the same compression method to start packet compression. ZyXEL omni.net supports STAC/LZS. Right now STAC/LZS is only supported with single history check mode 0 (none), 3 (sequence) and 4 (extended). Mode 1 (LCB) and mode 2 (CRC) are not supported due to patent limitations. CCP negotiation is described in RFC1962. STAC/LZS is described in RFC1974.

The omni.net will monitor the DTE activity. If software compression has been negotiated, the ISDN TA will automatically disable STAC/LZS compression.
