Cached Credentials User Login Mode

(Radio Wide, User Information and Passwords)

Selects the best approach when attempting radio-to-server User Login based-on the expected server(s) User Login protocol type(s): legacy Automatic Registration Service, and / or User Authentication. This selection applies for all ARS Mode capable channels.

This is an advanced setting which is only available in Expert View (see Codeplug View).

Last Mode:

( Factory

Default )

With this selection, the radio assumes that the server it is attempting to communicate with has the same User Login Credential protocol type as the last server that it contacted: a legacy Presence Notification (PN) Automatic Registration Service (ARS) server, or a UNS (Unified Network Services) User Authentication server.

Upon the radio's first power-up after a codeplug write, the radio will have an unknown previous User Login Credential protocol type. In this case, the radio assumes that it was communicating with a legacy PN server, and therefore first attempts a PN protocol User Login. Once the radio has learned the correct login protocol, the radio continues to use the last successful mode.

If the radio-user is switching between systems that use different User Login server types, upon arriving at a new server protocol type, the protocol will be incorrect:

1.) When expecting legacy PN but finding UNS, the radio is blocked from User Authentication functionality for the first login attempt only.

2.) When expecting UNS but finding a legacy PN, the radio will login with the correct mode, but will send extra messages to do so.

This selection is the most safe and the most efficient choice when both User Login server protocols are expected.

Legacy:

This selection assumes that all of the radio's ARS capable channels (see ARS Mode) will be accessing a legacy Presence Notification (PN) Automatic Registration Service (ARS) server.

If a UNS (Unified Network Services) server is encountered, the radio will not be capable of User Authentication Login.

This is the best selection when only legacy ARS servers are expected.

User Authentication:

With this selection, the user will always login using the appropriate protocol:

1.) If the server is using legacy Presence Notification (PN) Automatic Registration Service (ARS), then the legacy ARS protocol is used.

2.) If the server is UNS, then the User Authentication protocol is used.

When expecting UNS but finding a legacy PN, the radio will login with the correct mode, but will send extra messages to do so.

This selection is the best choice when the radio will almost always be using a UNS server.
