manual for the correct symbols for your modem.
step 8 (above) provides an example of an

string to support the RAS Dial Feature.
Setting Up Security for a Console Port
You can use LOCAL authentication, LDAP authentication,
RADIUS authentication, RSA SecurID authentication, or
TACACS+ authentication to protect a console port from
unauthorized access. These methods of authentication require a
user to enter a valid username/password combination to access
the console port.
Setting Up Local Authentication
Under LOCAL authentication, a username/password combination
is validated against the local security database. LOCAL
authentication is enabled by default on console ports. Other
authentication options on console ports are NONE, LDAP,
RADIUS, TACACS+, and RSA SecurID.
X To enable LOCAL authentication on a console port
1. Access the Asynchronous Command Mode for the
asynchronous port to configure.
2. Execute the following command to enable LOCAL
authentication on the port:
Example Async5:0 >>authentication outbound local enable
Setting Up RADIUS Authentication
Under RADIUS authentication, a username/password
combination is validated against the RADIUS user and client
database. The RADIUS security database is stored on the
RADIUS server for the LX unit. In order to use RADIUS
authentication on a port, you must have RADIUS set up for the
LX unit. See “Setting Up RADIUS” on page 2-19 for information
about setting up RADIUS for the LX unit.
