4. 3 7 Horizon Compact Authentication This feature is only necessary if you wish to restrict communication from a Horizon Compact unit to a specific peer or to a group of Horizon Compact units Authentication is generally used as a security measure It is not recommended to enable Authentication prior to alignment of the radios Authentication restricts a Horizon Compact unit from communicating with other Horizon Compact units unless the other units match an authentication string There are three types of authentication 1 No Authentication 2 Unique Authentication 3 Group Authentication A new Horizon Compact system inline with the signal cannot authenticate and receive data if another Horizon Compact system is already authenticated The system authenticates its peer s at an interval of approximately five seconds Note When Authentication is enabled it is recommended that out of band management via Port 2 be used This will prevent management access from being lost if an illegal attempt to access the system occurs causing authentication to lock out management traffic from Port 1 The Horizon Compact system does not accept data from other manufacturers systems 3 7 1 No Authentication No Authentication is the default mode of operation for Horizon Compact The Horizon Compact does not attempt to create a dialogue or establish authentication between Horizon Compact nodes For No Authentication Mode setting the failure condition has
