7. Incoming: Call Back—This field will be valid only if Call
Direction is Both. Otherwise, an N/A appears in the field. This
field determines whether or not you wish the router to call back
after receiving a call from this Remote Node. If this option is
enabled, the router will disconnect the initial call from this node
and call it back at the Outgoing Primary Phone Number (see
below).
8. Outgoing: My Login Name—This is a required field if Call
Direction is either Both or Out. Enter the login name for the
router when it calls this Remote Node. If the login name is
longer than 24 characters, only the first 23 will be displayed,
with a + displayed at the end.
9. Outgoing: My Password—This is a required field if Call
Direction is either Both or Out. Enter the password for the
router when it calls this Remote Node. If the password is longer
than 20 characters then a + will be displayed at the end.
10. Outgoing: Authen—This field sets the authentication protocol
used for outgoing calls.
Your DI-106 or DI-106M 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.
