222 Mediatrix 1204
Authentication
Authentication information allows you to add some level of security to the Mediatrix 1204 lines by setting user
names and passwords.
You can also set these parameters via the web interface, as described in “SIP Authentication” on page 71 .
You can define up to five user names and five passwords for each group of the Mediatrix 1204. A group can
thus register with five different realms. Keep in mind that:
Rows 1-5 of the table where you define the user names and passwords are reserved for group
1.
Rows 6-10 of the table where you define the user names and passwords are reserved for group
2.
etc.
For instance, to enter a user name for the second group, you must do so in the sixth row of the table. To enter
a user name for the third group, you must do so in the eleventh row of the table, and so on.
The current version of the Mediatrix 1204 supports only one group that contains all the FXO lines. See “Line
Grouping” on page 196 for more details.

To set group-specific authentication:

Authentication Request Protection
When the Mediatrix 1204 sends an authentication request, you can configure it so that it tries to apply the
authentication with integrity protection when this feature is supported by the SIP server.

To set the quality of protection:
