LABEL DESCRIPTION
User Name This is the username for your Internet access account.
Password This is the password for your Internet access account. The
password displays as a row of asterisks for security purposes.
Anonymous Identity This is the anonymous identity provided by your Internet Service
Provider. Anonymous identity (also known as outer identity) is
used with EAP-TTLS encryption.
PKM This field displays the Privacy Key Management version number.
PKM provides security between the WiMAX Modem and the base
station. See the WiMAX security appendix for more information.
Authentication This field displays the user authentication method. Authentication
is the process of confirming the identity of a user (by means of a
username and password, for example).
EAP-TTLS allows an MS/SS and a base station to establish a
secure link (or ‘tunnel’) with an AAA (Authentication, Authorization
and Accounting) server in order to exchange authentication
information. See the WiMAX security appendix for more details.
