In half-duplex operation, the authenticator device challenges the peer 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 peer 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 authenticator 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. 
Full-duplex operation places an additional step to half-duplex operation that mirrors the operation 
discussed above for a peer to validate the authenticator. The peer device challenges the 
authenticator by generating a CHAP challenge, and the authenticator returns a CHAP response.

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.
HDSL
High-bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) technology uses existing copper twisted pair cables 
designed for conventional analog voice transmission from a telephone carrier servicing area as 
low-cost alternative to the quality and speed of fiber optic cables, and provides high-speed 
full-duplex digital transmission links of up to 1.544 Mbps. The WPIM-HDSL is easy to install in 
your network over existing telephone lines, and it is a portable investment if a business, or 
individual user plans to relocate.
