Authentication
Type
The ZyWALL supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP;
however, PAP is readily available on more platforms.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.
Options are:
CHAP/PAP
- Your ZyWALL accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by the
ISP.
CHAP
- Your ZyWALL accepts CHAP only.
PAP
- Your ZyWALL accepts PAP only.
None
- Your ZyWALL does not send your user name and password for
authentication. The user name and password fields are grayed out. Select this
option if your ISP did not give you a user name and password.
User Name
Type the user name (of up to 31 ASCII printable characters) given to you by your
service provider.
Password
Type the password (of up to 31 ASCII printable characters) associated with the
user name above.
Retype to
Confirm
Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.
PIN Code
A PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a key to a 3G card. Without the PIN
code, you cannot use the 3G card.
Enter the PIN code (four to eight digits, 0000 for example) provided by your ISP. If
you enter the PIN code incorrectly, the 3G card may be blocked by your ISP and
you cannot use the account to access the Internet.
If your ISP disabled PIN code authentication, enter an arbitrary number.
This field is available only when you insert a GSM 3G card.
