System Logon - Avaya 8800 Commissioning Manual

Commissioning fundamentals
to include when the switch restarts. Enter one configuration parameter on each line with
required values.
You can configure the connection to use the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol
(CHAP) or the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). Both protocols require a secrets file.
The secrets file is a text document that includes the list of all users authorized to use the modem
port. You must list one user on each line and include specific parameters. The format for each
user is client server password IP address. The following list explains each option.
• client: the name of the user. This value is the logon name of the authorized user. This
value can be the name or ID of the user, similar to a Windows or UNIX logon.
• server: the name of the remote device, which is often the dial-in server. Use an asterisk
(*) to indicate any server name is acceptable.
• password: the password for the user.
• IP address: the IP address associated with the user.
The value for the IP address depends on the desired configuration of the modem. If all users
must use the same IP address, you must specify the same IP address for all users in the file,
and it must be the same IP address that you configure as the peer-ip for the modem port.
Configure the IP settings on the client to obtain an IP address automatically.
If each user must use a different IP address, list each user with a different IP address in the
file. Configure the client IP settings to use a static IP address that matches what you configure
in the secrets file.
An example secrets file looks like the following:
long * long 47.133.223.200 william * william 47.133.223.200
