6.3 Link Authentication
After a link is established, it is necessary to authenticate the peer for security reasons. There
are two popular authentication methods. One is Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and
the other is Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). PAP is less secure
because it transmits the username/password in plain text form. Unlike PAP, CHAP transmits
the username/password in encrypted form. Some ISPs may support CHAP as the only method
for authentication.
6.4 Configuring the Dial-up Modem

First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and
the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-
only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the
DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined,
but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after
you click Apply. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the
same IP address, the second User-Defined changes to None after you click
Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order
to access it.
WAN MAC Address The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC
address by either using the ZyXEL Device’s MAC address, copying the MAC
address from a computer on your LAN or manually entering a MAC address.

different ROM file.
