Authentication
Method
The P-2812HNU-51c supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is
more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on more
platforms.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for
outgoing calls. Options are:
AUTO - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts either CHAP or PAP when
requested by this remote node.
CHAP - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts CHAP only.
PAP - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts PAP only.
MSCHAP - Your P-2812HNU-51c accepts MSCHAP only. MS-CHAP is
the Microsoft version of the CHAP.
Enable NAT Select this option to activate NAT on this connection.
NAT Type Select the type of NAT you want the P-2812HNU-51c to use for traffic
through this connection.

time and specify an idle time-out in the Inactivity Timeout field.
Inactivity
Timeout
Specify an idle time-out when you select Dial on Demand. The
default setting is 0, which means the Internet session will not timeout.
Use Static IPv4
Address
A static IPv4 address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic
IP address is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time
you connect to the Internet. Select this if you do not have a dynamic
IP address.
IPv4 Address Enter the static IP address provided by your ISP.
Get IPv6 Address
Automatically
Select this option if you want to have the P-2812HNU-51c use the
IPv6 prefix from the connected router’s Router Advertisement (RA) to
generate an IPv6 address.
Get IPv6
Address From
DHCPv6
Server
Select this option if you also want to obtain an IPv6 address from a
DHCPv6 server.
The IP address assigned by a DHCPv6 server has priority over the IP
address automatically generated by the P-2812HNU-51c using the
IPv6 prefix from an RA.
Use Static IPv6
Address
Select this option if you have a fixed IPv6 address assigned by your
ISP.
