Authentication Type Choose the authentication type from the
drop-down menu:
• Auto-negotiate—The server sends a
configuration request specifying the security
algorithm set on it. Then, the Cisco RV180/
RV180W sends back authentication
credentials with the security type sent earlier
by the server.
• PAP—The Cisco RV180/RV180W uses the
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) to
connect to the ISP.
• CHAP—The Cisco RV180/RV180W uses the
Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol (CHAP) when connecting with the
ISP.
• MS-CHAP or MS-CHAPv2—The Cisco
RV180/RV180W uses Microsoft Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol when
connecting with the ISP.
Connection Type Choose the connection type:
• Keep connected—The Internet connection is
always on.
• Idle Time—The Internet connection is on only
when traffic is present. If the connection is
idle—that is, no traffic is occurring—the
connection is closed. You might want to
choose this option if your ISP charges based
on connection time.
Idle Time If you choose Idle Time as the connection type,
enter the number of minutes after which the
connection terminates. The valid range is 5–999.
