System Security
Your DI-106 or DI-106M incorporates a number of security
measures to prevent unauthorized access to your network. For
example, it supports both PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for
authenticating a Remote Node. More information on CHAP and
PAP can be found in the Dial-In Configuration chapter starting on
page 68.
By default, the router can store information about up to eight
different users. If more dial-up users are necessary, an external
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server can
be used to provide centralized user security.
In addition, the DI-106 and DI-106M implement a user password
to get into the SMT screen. You will have three attempts to enter
the correct system password. If you do not do so, the SMT will
kick you out. In addition, the router will support only one user in
the SMT at one time.
