Authentication
Method
The VDSL Router supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is
readily available on more platforms.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.
Options are:
AUTO
- Your VDSL Router accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by this remote
node.
PAP
- Your VDSL Router accepts PAP only.
CHAP
- Your VDSL Router accepts CHAP only.
MSCHAP
- Your VDSL Router accepts MSCHAP only. MS-CHAP is the Microsoft version
of the CHAP.

PPP IP extension
Select this only if your service provider requires it. PPP IP extension extends the service
provider’s IP subnet to a single LAN computer.
•
It lets only one computer on the LAN connect to the WAN.
•
The public IP address from the ISP is forwarded through DHCP to the LAN computer
instead of being used on the WAN PPP interface.
•
It disables NAT and the firewall.
•
DHCP tells the LAN computer to use the gateway as the default gateway and DNS
server.
•
The VDSL Router bridges IP packets between the WAN and LAN ports except
packets destined for the VDSL Router’s LAN IP address.
