If you choose to use PAP for calling the remote network,

when it calls the Netopia Router, select Receive Name and 
enter a name. Select Receive Password and enter a pass-
word. You will need to give this name and password to the 
remote network’s administrator.

If you choose to use CHAP for calling the remote network, 
obtain a name and secret (the CHAP term for password) 
from the remote network’s administrator. Enter the name 
in Send Host Name and enter the password in Send 
Secret. If you want the remote network to use this connec-
tion profile when it calls the Netopia Router, select Receive 
Host Name and enter a name. Select Receive Secret and 
enter a secret. You will need to give this name and secret 
to the remote network’s administrator.
