Prestige 100L IDSL Router
Chapter 8
System Security
This chapter talks you through System Password Menu 23.
The Prestige 100L incorporates a number of security measures to prevent unauthorized access to your network. For example, your Prestige supports both PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) in authenticating a Remote Node.
In addition, your Prestige also implements a user password to get into the SMT screen. You have three attempts to enter the correct system password. If all three attempts fail, the SMT logs out. In addition, your Prestige only supports one user in the SMT at one time.
