Security String(s) Configuration

The Security String(s) Configuration screen (#110) supplies the security string required by the Dial ID protocol for the node you are configuring. (Note that the security string is not required if dial ID protocol is not enabled.) This screen, shown in Figure 6-7 “Security String(s) Configuration Screen”, is displayed if you pressed the [Go To Security] function key at the preceding Dial ID Protocol Configuration screen (Figure 6-6 “Dial ID Protocol Configuration Screen”). It is also displayed when you type the path name:

@NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.DIAL.SECURITY

in the Command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where NIname is a configured point-to-point NI.
