Local Area Network
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) is based on the X.500 standard, but sig-
nificantly simpler and more readily adapted to
meet custom needs. The core LDAP specifica-
tions are all defined in RFCs. LDAP is a protocol
used to access information stored in an LDAP
server.
LightEmitting Diode
Every piece of Ethernet hardware has a unique
number assigned to it called it's MAC address.
Ethernet is used locally to connect the IMG/
IM/CM4000 to the Internet, and it may share
the local network with many other appliances.
The MAC address is used by the local Internet
router in order to direct IMG/IM/CM4000 traffic
to it rather than somebody else in the local area.
It is a 48bit number usually written as a series
of 6 hexadecimal octets, e.g. 00:d0:cf:00:5b:da.
A IMG/IM/CM4000 has a MAC address listed on
a label underneath the device.
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol (MSCHAP) is authentication for PPP
connections between a computer using a Micro-
soft Windows operating system and a network
access server. It is more secure than PAP or
CHAP, and is the only option that also supports
data encryption.
