Conﬁguring and Managing SLIP Ports

Establishing Terminal Sessions with a PC

Prerequisites

Before you can use a PC to establish a terminal session with the access server, you

must:

1. Conﬁgure the device and port characteristics as described in Chapter 9.

2. Enter the commands to set up SLIP operating characteristics as shown in the

Example: Conﬁguring a PC As a Terminal and SLIP Host, in this chapter.

3. If you want to authenticate a user, make sure that a terminal emulation

program is installed and running on the PC. The terminal emulation program

needs to be invoked after a connection is established so that the user can

respond to prompts for authentication.

Refer to Managing Dial-Up Access Security with AUTOLINK and AUTOLINK

Authentication in Chapter 22 for more information if you have enabled

AUTOLINK authentication.

Once the terminal emulation program is running and the user is authenticated,

the PC can access hosts on the TCP/IP and LAT networks through the access

server by using the CONNECT command.
