Setting up Dial-in Modem Ports
Access: Set this field to Dynamic . This sets the port of
the terminal server to listen for data on both the
RS-232 side and the network side. If only used
for dial-in, set to
Local and it will only listen on
the RS-232 side.
Connection:
With the connection set to Dedicated , the port will
automatically connect to a specified host when not
doing PPP (DCD goes high on the modem).
Host: When not doing PPP, this field defines which host
computer you want the port to automatically
connect to. Use the host’s IP address. You can
also define the host in the terminal server’s Host
Table and just use the name.
Remote port: This corresponds to the Login (i.e. rlogin)
service on the remote host and must be 513 (or
23 for Telnet).
Local port: The
inetd process running on the terminal server
for this port is listening for TCP/IP connections
on TCP port 10006.
4.2 The Host
Make sure you have setup a valid user account for
authentication on the designated authentication host. See
Modem Authentication & Logging (section 5).
4.3 The Modem
You will need to configure the modem using a configuration
string. To do this, go to the
Remote Site Devices screen
(via the
Access section of the Administrative Menu ). Select
the UNUSED ENTRY that corresponds to the port with the
modem attached (i.e. third one down is port 3, etc.). You
can set the type (i.e. name) and the
Modem Config to the
required configuration string (e.g. ate0s0=1&w). All other
fields are default.
