Protocol – this is a protocol used to encapsulate IP messages over
synchronous and asynchronous serial links. The device being
connected to must be using the same protocol for a connection to
succeed. The four protocols are described:
1. CISCO_HDLC – this is a serial line encapsulation method for
transmitting datagrams over synchronous serial point-to-point
links.
2. SLIP – Serial Line Internet Protocol. A serial line
encapsulation method for transmitting datagrams over
asynchronous serial point-to-point links. If linking the router
to a computer, each end must know the other’s IP address.
3. PPP_SYN – this serial line encapsulation provides a method
for transmitting datagrams over synchronous serial point-to-
point links. Unlike the SLIP protocol, PPP can determine the
IP address configuration automatically.
4. PPP_ASYN – this serial line encapsulation provides a method
for transmitting datagrams over asynchronous serial point-to-
point links. Unlike the SLIP protocol, PPP can determine the
IP address configuration automatically.
•
Phone Number – this is only a reference field, used to contain
your line’s phone number when using an asynchronous dial-in
modem.
•
Auth[entication] Type – this defines the authorization protocol
that will be used when accepting a dial-in connection. The choices
are Password Authentication Protocol [PAP], Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol [CHAP] or None. PAP and
CHAP do not provide a screen for users to manually enter their
Username and Password – instead, this data must be entered into
the dialing software before placing the call. Make sure the device
dialing in is using the same protocol as defined here. The None
