157 Chapter 17 Remote Node Configuration
17.2.3 Outgoing Authentication Protocol
For obvious reasons, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible.
However, some vendors’ implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user
profile. It will disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile,
even when the negotiated protocol is stronger than specified. If the peer disconnects right after
a successful authentication, make sure that you specify the correct authentication protocol
when connecting to such an implementation.
Authen This field sets the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls. Options for this
field are:
CHAP / PAP – Your Prestige will accept either CHAP or PAP when requested by
this remote node.
CHAP – accept CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) only.
PAP – accept PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) only.
Route This field determines the protocol used in routing. Options are IP and None.
Bridge When bridging is enabled, your Prestige will forward any packet that it does not
route to this remote node; otherwise, the packets are discarded. Select Yes to
enable and No to disable.

Allocated Budget

This sets a ceiling for outgoing call time for this remote node. The default for this
field is 0 meaning no budget control.
Period (hr) This field is the time period that the budget should be reset. For example, if we
are allowed to call this remote node for a maximum of 10 minutes every hour,
then the Allocated Budget is (10 minutes) and the Period (hr) is 1 (hour).
Schedule Sets This field is only applicable for PPPoE and PPPoA encapsulation. You can apply
up to four schedule sets here. For more details please refer to Chapter 28 on
