25.2.2.1  Outgoing Authentication Protocol
Generally speaking, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible, for 
obvious reasons. However, some vendor’s implementation includes a specific authentication 
protocol in the user profile. It will disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in 
the user profile, even when the negotiated protocol is stronger than specified. If you encounter 
a case where the peer disconnects right after a successful authentication, please make sure that 
you specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation.
25.2.2.2  Nailed-Up Connection
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic 
demand. The ZyAIR does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is 
that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the ZyAIR will try to bring up the connection 
when turned on and whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection can be very 
expensive for obvious reasons. 
Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service 
or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.
