When originating an outgoing call:
Express 4100/4110 uses PPP method configured in Configura-
tion/Security/PPP
.
Authenticatee’s username is compared to profile used to dial.
Authenticating with RADIUS:
When Configuration/Security/Authentication is set to Radius
authentication is performed by the RADIUS server.
The Express 4100/4110 uses the DEFAULT Connection List pro-
file for all other parameters not supported by RADIUS attributes.
RADIUS attributes currently supported are: framed ip, framed 
netmask, framed ipx network, framed routing, framed compres-
sion, and idle timeout.

The Express 4100/4110 as the authenticatee:
When answering an incoming call:
If  the  Configuration/Security/Authentication parameter is set to 
None
, the DEFAULT profile’s Tx Username and Tx Password are 
used by the Express 4100/4110 for authenticating itself.
If  the  Configuration/Security/Authentication parameter is set to 
Connection List 
or RADIUS, the Express 4100/4110 will wait 
until the PPP peer is authenticated before authenticating itself 
(except when CHAP or EAP is used). If CHAP or EAP is used, the 
username transmitted by the PPP peer’s authentication challenge 
packet is looked up in the Connection List. If found, the Express 
4100/4110 responds with the profile’s Tx Username and Tx Pass-
word
 parameters. If not found, the DEFAULT profile’s Tx User-
name
 and Tx Password parameters are used.
When originating an outgoing call:
The dial-out profile Tx Username and Tx Password are used 
regardless of the PPP peer’s username received if CHAP or EAP 
is used.
