for outgoing calls.
The Prestige supports two authentication protocols: PAP
(Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol).
PAP sends the user name and password in plain text.
CHAP scrambles the password before it is sent over the wire.
Generally speaking, CHAP is more secure than PAP; however,
PAP is readily available on more platforms. The recommendation is
to use CHAP whenever possible. Turning off the authentication is
STRONGLY discouraged.
Options for this field are:
CHAP/PAP - Prestige will try CHAP when CHAP is
requested by the Remote Node or PAP when PAP is
requested by the Remote Node.
CHAP - use CHAP only.
PAP - use PAP only.
the Primary Phone number and the Secondary Phone number refer
to the number that the Prestige will dial to connect to the Remote
Node. The Prestige will always call the Remote Node using the
Primary Phone number first. If the Primary Phone number is busy or
does not answer, the Prestige will call the Secondary Phone number
