Configuring Authentication
The Authentication table lets you configure an authentication username and password per analog port.
| ● | If authentication is configured for the entire device, configuration in the table is ignored. |
| ● | If the username or password is not configured in the table, the port's phone number (configured in the Trunk Groups table) and global password (configured by the global parameter, Password) are used instead for authentication of the port. |
| ● | After you click Apply, the password is displayed as an asterisk (*). |
The following procedure describes how to configure authentication per port through the Web interface. You can also configure it through ini file [Authentication] or CLI (configure voip > gateway analog authentication).
| ➢ | To configure authentication credentials per port: |
| 1. | Configure the device to authenticate per endpoint. You can configure this globally for all endpoints or for endpoints belonging to a specific Trunk Group: |
| ● | For all endpoints: Open the Proxy & Registration page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > SIP Definitions folder > Proxy & Registration), and then configure the 'Registration Mode' [AuthenticationMode] parameter to Per Endpoint: |
| ● | Endpoints per Trunk Group: Open the Trunk Group Settings table (see Configuring Trunk Group Settings), and then for the required Trunk Group ID, configure the 'Registration Mode' parameter to Per Endpoint. |
| 2. | Open the Authentication table (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway folder > Analog Gateway > Authentication). |
| 3. | Select the row corresponding to the port that you want to configure, and then click Edit; the following dialog box appears: |
| 4. | Configure the authentication username and password per port according to the parameters described in the table below. |
| 5. | Click Apply. |
