CyberSWITCH CSX400 and CSX400-DC Installation Guide
The peer device challenges the authenticator device by generating a CHAP challenge, and the
challenge contains an MD5 algorithm with a random number that has your encrypted password
and system name. The authenticator device then applies a one-way hash algorithm to the random
number and returns this encrypted information along with the system name in the CHAP response.
The peer device then runs the same algorithm and compares the result with the expected value.
This authentication method depends upon a password or secret, known only to both ends locally.

LQM
Link Quality Monitoring (LQM) is a link control mechanism used with PPP to determine when
and how often a link is dropping data in units of packets and octets. Link Quality Monitoring
accomplishes this by providing Link-Quality-Reports to determine if the quality of the link is
adequate for operation. Link Quality Monitoring provides separate measurements for both
incoming and outgoing packets that are communicated to both ends of the link. The PPP LQM
mechanism carefully defines the Link-Quality-Report packet formats, and specifies reference
points for all data transmission and reception measurements. The LQM implementation maintains
successfully received packet and octet counts, and periodically transmits this information to its
peer using Link-Quality-Report packets.

Multilink Protocol
Multilink Protocol (MP) is an extension of PPP that controls the way frames are transferred across
several links whenever a single link is not sufficient to meet the requirements of your present
traffic load. Multilink Protocol establishes several simultaneous links between two end points over
switched circuits (dial-up lines) in an ISDN network, and dynamically adjusts the bandwidth
demands between available links to maintain an effective data transfer.

ISDN
ISDN provides an inexpensive switched digital access to remote sites. The ISDN BRI standard
provides for two high speed 64 Kbps bearer (B) channels used for voice or data connections and
one 16 Kbps signaling data (D) channel used for call setup, signaling and other information. ISDN
allows all types of information to be transmitted including voice, data, fax and video. Multiple
devices can be linked to a single ISDN connection, each having their own telephone number. Two
or more channels can be combined into a single larger transmission pipe offering variable
transmission speeds.

The CSX400 supports one ISDN BRI line and either or both of the B channels for transferring
data. If the two B channels are used for separate connections, each provides up to 64 Kbps transfer
rates. Both channels can be used together to provide uncompressed data transfer at up to 128 Kbps.
The CSX400 can also transfer compressed data at up to 512 Kbps (after decompression).
