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.
