menu. If compression is enabled on both sides of the link, Stac Compression can provide up to a 2:1 com-

Connection Authentication
The Extenders allow authentication to be disabled, required only from the remote unit, required only from
the switch unit, or required from both units. The three receive authentication settings (None, PAP, and
CHAP) specify the authentication information that the Extender requires the other unit to send to it. The
three send authentication settings specify the authentication information that the Extender will send to the
other unit, if requested.
Authentication may be disabled when initially configuring the Extenders' ISDN connections and/or for trou-
bleshooting the ISDN connection. Once the Extenders are ready for general use, it is recommended that
authentication is enabled on both units.
Setting Receive Authentication
Receive Authentication specifies the authentication protocol required from the Remote Module to authenti-
cate the connection. If the other system does not support the required authentication protocol, the connection
will fail.
