Serial Port Dial-in Help

This screen allow setup for the Dial-in feature of the Serial Port.

Dial-in Settings

These settings apply to all users.

Enable Dial-in
Enable or disable the Dial-in feature as required.
Note:

• If Dial-in is enabled, the modem can NOT be used for Internet Access or LAN-to-LAN.
• Dial-in cannot be enabled if the modem is used for Internet Access or for LAN-to-LAN.

Dial-in PPP Authentication
Select the desired option

• PAP is widely supported, but not very secure, because the password is not encrypted.
• CHAP is more secure than PAP (the password is encrypted before transmission), and should be used if possible.
• MSCHAP is the Microsoft Windows version of CHAP. If all dial-in users are using Windows, you should use this option. In Windows Dial-up Networking, this setting is called "Require Encrypted Password" rather than MSCHAP.

Disconnect after Idle Time
If enabled, a Dial-in connection will be terminated after being idle for the time specified. Change the Idle Time value to the desired time.
If not enabled, the Dial-in connection must be terminated by the Dial-in user.

Dial-in Users

This table lists all existing users, and allows you to add, edit and delete users. If you have not defined any users, the table will contain the pre-defined "guest" user. Unless dial-in authentication is set to "None" (not recommended), any user attempting to dial-in must exist in this database.

• Name - the name of the user.
• Enabled - indicates whether dial-in access is Enabled or Disabled.
• Call Back - indicates the current "call-back" setting (Disabled, Roaming, or Fixed)
