Authentication

The P-2812HNU-51c supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)

and 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:

 

AUTO - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts either CHAP or PAP when

 

requested by this remote node.

 

CHAP - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts CHAP only.

 

PAP - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts PAP only.

 

MSCHAP - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts MSCHAP only. MS-CHAP is

 

the Microsoft version of the CHAP.
