3.4.5.6.1 Authentication
The 'Authentication' page defines a user name and password for authenticating each
device port. Authentication is typically used for FXS interfaces, but can also be used for
FXO interfaces.
Notes:
• The 'Authentication' page is applicable only to Mediant 1000.
• The 'Authentication Mode' parameter (refer to ''Proxy & Registration
Parameters'' on page 146) determines whether authentication is
performed per port or for the entire device. If authentication is performed
for the entire device, the configuration in the 'Authentication' page is
ignored.
• If either the user name or password field is omitted, the port's phone
number (defined in Configuring the Trunk Group Table on page 226) and
global password (refer to the parameter 'Password' described in ''Proxy &
Registration Parameters'' on page 146) are used instead.
• You can also configure Authentication using the ini file table parameter
Authentication (refer to ''SIP Configuration Parameters'' on page 323).
¾ To configure the Authentication Table, take these 5 steps:
1. Set the 'Authentication Mode' parameter to 'Per Endpoint' (refer to ''Proxy &
Registration Parameters'' on page 146).
2. Open the 'Authentication' page (Configuration tab > Protocol Configuration menu >
Endpoint Settings submenu > Authentication page item).
