Managing IPX

• SIGNAL SELECT should match signals used by the attached device (for

example, a modem) when the SIGNAL SELECT feature is supported on the

access server. SIGNAL SELECT is not applicable for some access server

platforms. SIGNAL SELECT can be conﬁgured either CTS (CTS-DSR-RTS-

DTR) or RI (RI-DCD-DSRS-DTR). Based on conﬁguration, correct adapter

must be chosen (see Appendix A). Current high-speed modems (>9600 baud)

typically use CTS.

Conﬁguring the Port for the Login Method

You can conﬁgure a port to log in to a local user interface prompt or to be

exclusively dedicated to PPP. To conﬁgure a port for login to a local user interface

prompt, refer to the Conﬁguring the Port for Login to the Local Prompt section in

this chapter. To conﬁgure a port to be exclusively dedicated to PPP, refer to the

Conﬁguring the Port Dedicated to PPP section in this chapter.

Conﬁguring the Port for Login to the Local Prompt

Following modem connection, the PC user will log in to the local interface with or

without password authentication. Then, the user will have the option to activate

PPP using user interface commands.

Activating PPP

To conﬁgure the port with login password authentication required, use the

following commands:

Local> CHANGE SERVER LOGIN PASSWORD xxxxxx

Local> CHANGE PORT n PASSWORD ENABLE

Local> CHANGE PORT n AUTOBAUD ENABLE SPEED 9600

Local> CHANGE PORT n DEDICATED NONE

Conﬁguring the Port With No Login Password Authentication Required

To conﬁgure the port with no login password authentication required, use the

following commands:

Local> CHANGE PORT n PASSWORD DISABLE

Local> CHANGE PORT n AUTOBAUD ENABLE SPEED 9600

Local> CHANGE PORT n DEDICATED NONE

Both login password authentication and PPP/PAP password authentication use

the same password. One or both can be enabled at the same time.
