Authentication: The different types of available authentications are:
l
Auto (default): When auto is selected, PAP mode will run by default. However, if

l PAP: Password Authentication Procedure. Authentication is done through username
and password.
l CHAP: Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. Typically more secure than
PAP, CHAP uses username and password in combination with a randomly
generated challenge string which has to be authenticated using a one-way hashing
function.

will not reconnect the session. This box is unchecked by default.
PPP Configuration Status: A table will be displayed at the bottom of this page to show
