The SECURITY SET-UP MENU allows the configuration of the PPP security options used between this router and the
remote site for which a profile is currently being configured.
Note: routers configured to have a leased line link operating in conjunction with an ISDN B-Channel (either as backup or bundled
link) must have security enabled (security level set to either [PAP] or [CHAP]) and with the proper usernames and passwords
entered on both partner routers.
1 - Default parameters
The Default Parameters option takes you to the Default Parameters menu where the outgoing PPP security options to be
used by this router when calling the remote site are configured.
2 - Security Level
The Security Level option defines the type of PPP security to use for incoming connections. When a security level is set,
the P1700 will always require authentication on incoming connections. The P1700 will ask for authentication on
outgoing calls when a security request is set to always (see below).
Default:
[none]
Choices:
none, PAP, CHAP
3 - Request security
This specifies when the remote site router should be requested to authenticate:
- always (when this router makes an outgoing call OR receives an incoming call)
- incoming_only (ONLY when this router receives an incoming call)
Default:
If an ISDN module is installed:
If only leased line module(s) installed: [always]
Choices:
always, incoming only
