Command Descriptions
2-6
Restrictions
• The port must have SLIP or PPP enabled.
• Only one SLIP or PPP session per port is allowed at any given time.
• The incoming data must use either PPP or SLIP protocol, or be an interactive
terminal session.
• Both Multisessions and ODL must be disabled.
Example: CONNECT AUTOLINK
Local> CONNECT AUTOLINK
This command examines incoming data. If a PPP or SLIP packet is detected, the
session attempts to change itself into a PPP or SLIP session. If a single carriage
return is detected or a user-settable timeout occurs, the session will be interactive.
CONNECT [DIAL]
(secure)
Syntax
CONNECT [DIAL] dial-service-name
Description
This command requests a connection be established using the given dial service.
It is functionally equivalent to the DIAL command. On a port that defaults to the
DIAL protocol, the DIAL keyword in this command is optional. If the selected
dial service does not define the mode or the phone number for the new session,
you will be prompted for this information.
Keywords
dial-service-name
The name of the dial service to which you wish to connect.
If a name is not specified, the port’s preferred service is used. If the preferred
service contains an asterisk (*) as the number specified in the dialer service, the
access server prompts the user to enter a telephone number. Likewise, if the dialer
service specifies ANY as the mode, the access server prompts the user to enter a
mode (LOGIN, LOCAL, SLIP, or PPP).
If the port does not have a preferred service name set, the command fails.
Restriction
The default protocol must be dial.
