Select the Authentication Type required.
Access is denied to remote users attempting to connect using an authentication scheme weaker than the selected scheme. The
schemes, from strongest to weakest, are:
- Encrypted Authentication (MS-CHAP v2). Recommended. The strongest authentication.
- Weakly Encrypted Authentication (CHAP). This is the weakest encrypted password authentication to use. Not recommended as it
provides very little password protection. Also note that clients connecting using CHAP are unable to encrypt traffic.
- Unencrypted Authentication (PAP). This is plain text password authentication. When using this type of authentication, the client
password is transmitted unencrypted.
- None. No encryption at all.
Select the Required Encryption Level. Access is denied to remote users attempting to connect not using this encryption level. 40 bit or
128 bit encryption is recommended.
NOTE: Firmware v3.5.2 and later support multiple dial-in users, setup with dialin Group membership. The User name and Password
for the dial-in PPP link, and any dial-back phone numbers are configured during User set up. Earlier firmware only supports
one PPP dial-in account.
Chapter 16 has Linux command examples to control modem port operation at the shell.
6.2.2 USING SDT CONNECTOR CLIENT
Administrators can use their SDT Connector client to set up secure OOB dial-in access to remote console servers. The SDT
Connector Java client software provides point-and-click secure remote access. OOB access uses an alternate path for connecting to
the console server to that used for regular data traffic.
Start an OOB connection in SDT Connector by initiating a dial-up connection, or adding an alternate route to the console server. SDT
Connector allows for maximum flexibility in this regard, by allowing you to provide your own scripts or commands for starting and
stopping the OOB connection. See Section 7.5 for more information.
6.2.3 SET UP WINDOWS XP OR LATER CLIENT
Navigate to Start Menu > Control Panel.
Click Network Connections.
Click the New Connection Wizard.

On the Getting Ready screen, select Set up my connection manually.

On the Internet Connection screen select Connect using a dial-up modem.
Click Next.
Enter a Connection Name (any name you choose)
Enter the dial-up Phone number that will connect thru to the console server modem.
Enter the PPP User name and Password you have set up for the console server.
