Chapter 6: User Authentication and VPN
Sleep
Introduction
This chapter covers how to enter your user name and password for security authentication and how
to activate the sleep mode to terminate/reactivate the VPN connection. Prior to performing any of
the procedures in this section, and based on how the remote VPN phones are set up, the
administrator should establish appropriate values for VPN tunnel connection and user
authentication.
Note:
All 9600 Series IP Telephones except the 9670G require you to select a line or desired action
and press a button/softkey to act upon your selection. On 9670G IP Telephones, all actions are
touch-based; for example, text/numeric entry uses an on-screen keyboard, and actions are
taken or confirmed by touching the applicable line, feature, icon, or softkey on the screen. The
procedures that follow apply to non-9670G phones and should be adjusted accordingly for the
9670’s touch screen.
User Authentication
VPN user name entry screen
This screen displays to validate the user name or to allow an existing user name to be edited if
these three conditions are met: NVVPNUSER contains a non-null value (meaning you have a
previously assigned user name), the NVVPNPSWD (VPN password) value is null, and the value of
NVVPNUSERTYPE is "1" to allow the VPN user to enter or change a user name.
