Configuration and Management 33
X1 – displays the established connection speed to the dial-
in user (e.g. Connection established at
56.6 kps).
• Protocol – this is a protocol used to encapsulate IP messages over
synchronous and asynchronous serial links. The device being
connected to must be using the same protocol for a connection to
succeed. The four protocols are described:
1.
CISCO_HDLC
– this is a serial line encapsulation method for
transmitting datagrams over synchronous serial point-to-point
links.
2.
SLIP
– Serial Line Internet Protocol. A serial line
encapsulation method for transmitting datagrams over
asynchronous serial point-to-point links. If linking the router
to a computer, each end must know the other’s IP address.
3.
PPP_SYN
– this serial line encapsulation provides a method
for transmitting datagrams over synchronous serial point-to-
point links. Unlike the SLIP protocol, PPP can determine the
IP address configuration automatically.
4.
PPP_ASYN
– this serial line encapsulation provides a method
for transmitting datagrams over asynchronous serial point-to-
point links. Unlike the SLIP protocol, PPP can determine the
IP address configuration automatically.
• Phone Number – this is only a reference field, used to contain
your line’s phone number when using an asynchronous dial-in
modem.
• Auth[entication] Type – this defines the authorization protocol
that will be used when accepting a dial-in connection. The choices
are Password Authentication Protocol [PAP], Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol [CHAP] or None. PAP and
CHAP do not provide a screen for users to manually enter their
Username and Password – instead, this data must be entered into
the dialing software before placing the call. Make sure the device
dialing in is using the same protocol as defined here. The None
