Gateway Half Network Interface Configuration Screens
Dial ID Protocol Configuration
Security on (Y/N)
A Y (Yes) value in this field indicates that security
strings are to be exchanged and validated between the
node being configured and a remote node.
When a dial connection is initiated by a remote node,
the security string sent by the remote node is checked
against the list of valid security strings configured for
the dial ID protocol for this network interface. (See
Related screens). When a dial connection is initiated by
this node, the local dial ID protocol sends the
destination’s security string (as configured on this
node) to that node. (Related screens, indicates the path
name of the screen in which you can configure security
strings.) If security validation fails, an error message is
logged. (Refer to the NS 3000/iX Error Messages
Reference Manual for a description of any error
message received.)
