System Passwords
SOHO has a system password ÒSOHOpasswd,Ó which is used when SOHO communicates with HQ for
authentication by that site and at any time when HQ challenges SOHO.
HQ has a system password ÒHQpasswd,Ó which is, likewise, used when HQ communicates with site
SOHO for authentication by SOHO and at any time SOHO challenges HQ.
ISP has a system password ÒISPpasswdÓ used for the same purpose.

Remote Passwords
Each router has a remote routerÕs password for each remote router defined in its Remote Router
Database. The router will use the remote password to authenticate the remote router when the remote
router communicates with or is challenged by the local site.
For example, SOHO has remote router entries for HQ and ISP; defined in each table entry is the
respective remote routerÕs password.
The following table shows the names and passwords for each router that must be defined for
authentication to be performed correctly. (This assumes that all three systems use some form of
authentication protocol.)
Note: If you experience trouble with passwords, we recommend that you set the remote router security to
disable authentication to simplify the process.
