RX METHOD
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
These are methods the ATLAS 550 uses to authenticate the peer. NONE is selected when you do
not want to authenticate the peer. PAP, CHAP, or EAP is selected when you will allow the peer to
be authenticated with one of the listed authentication protocols. In this case, the most secure
method will be used first (EAP, then CHAP, then PAP). CHAP or EAP is selected when you will
authenticate the peer only using one of the encrypted authentication protocols. EAP is selected
when you will authenticate the peer only using the EAP authentication protocol.
TX METHOD
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This field displays a list of the methods that we will allow the peer to authenticate us with. This is
of use when a peer wants to do PAP just to get your password. None is selected when you do not
want to be authenticated by the peer. PAP, CHAP, or EAP is selected when you will let the peer
use one or all of the authentication protocols. CHAP or EAP is selected when you will let the
peer use only one of the encrypted authentication protocols. EAP is selected when you will let
the peer use only the EAP authentication protocol.
