Prestige 861H Series User's Guide Table 45 Menu 11.1 Remote Node Profile (continued) FIELD DESCRIPTION Authen This field sets the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls. Options for this field are: CHAP/PAP - Your Prestige will accept either CHAP or PAP when requested by this remote node. CHAP - accept CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) only. Route PAP - accept PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) only. This field determines the protocol used in routing. Options are IP and None. Bridge When bridging is enabled, your Prestige will forward any packet that it does not route to this remote node; otherwise, the packets are discarded. Select Yes to enable and No to disable. Edit IP/Bridge Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 11.3 - Remote Node Network Layer Options. Edit ATM Options Edit Advance Options Telco Option Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 11.6 - Remote Node ATM Layer Options. This field is only available when you select PPPoE in the Encapsulation field. Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 11.8 - Advance Setup Options. Allocated Budget (min) Period (hr) Schedule Sets Nailed up Connection Session Options This sets a ceiling for outgoing call time for this remote node. The default for this field is 0 meaning no budget control. This field is the time period that the budget should be reset. For example, if we are allowed to call this remote node for a maximum of 10 minutes every hour, then the Allocated Budget is (10 minutes) and the Period (hr) is 1 (hour). This field is only applicable for PPPoE and PPPoA encapsulation. You can apply up to four schedule sets here. For more details please refer to Chapter 28 on page 246. This field is only applicable for PPPoE and PPPoA encapsulation. This field specifies if you want to make the connection to this remote node a nailed-up connection. More details are given earlier in this section. Edit Filter Sets Use [SPACE BAR] to choose Yes and press [ENTER] to open menu 11.5 to edit the filter sets. See Chapter 21 on page 188 for more details. Idle Timeout (sec) Type the number of seconds (0-9999) that can elapse when the Prestige is idle (there is no traffic going to the remote node), before the Prestige automatically disconnects the remote node. 0 means that the session will not timeout. When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:" to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel. 17.2.3 Outgoing Authentication Protocol For obvious reasons, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible. However, some vendors' implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user profile. It will disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile, even when the negotiated protocol is stronger than specified. If the peer disconnects right after a successful authentication, make sure that you specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation. 157 Chapter 17 Remote Node Configuration
