5.5.9 Configuring the Endpoint Settings
The Endpoint Settings screens enable you to configure port-specific parameters.
5.5.9.1 Authentication
The Authentication Table (normally used with FXS gateways) defines a username and
password combination for authentication for each MediaPack port.
The ‘Authentication Mode’ parameter (described in Table 5-4) determines if authentication
is performed per port or for the entire gateway. If authentication is performed for the entire
gateway, this table is ignored.
Note: If either the username or password field is omitted, the port’s phone
number (defined in Table 5-25) and global password (refer to the
parameter ‘Password’ described in Table 5-4) are used instead.
¾ To configure the Authentication Table, take these 6 steps:
1. Set the ‘Authentication Mode’ parameter to ‘Authentication per Endpoint’.
2. Open the ‘Authentication’ screen (Protocol Management menu > Endpoint Settings
> Authentication option); the ‘Authentication’ screen is displayed.

3. In the ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’ fields for a port, enter the username and password
combination respectively.
4. Repeat Step 4 for each port.
5. Click the Submit button to save your changes.
6. To save the changes, refer to Section 5.10.2 on page 205.
Table 5-27: Authentication ini File Parameter
Parameter Name in ini File Parameter Format
Authentication_x
Authentication_<Port> = <Username>,<Password>
For example:
Authentication_0 = david,14325
Authentication_1 = Alex,18552
Note: Using the sign ‘$$’ enables the user to omit either the
username or the password. For instance, Authentication_5 = $$,
152. In this case, endpoint 5’s phone number is used instead of
username.
