Remote access sites
This first brings up a pop up menu with 16 possible UNUSED ENTRYs. These will represent
the available dial-out sites for IOLAN+. Selecting any of these will bring up the following
menu:
The parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Sitename This is the IP name or IP address of the remote site IOLAN+ will be
calling.
User name This is the user name required by the remote system for logging in. You
may use the \u in your login script in lieu of the full name.
Password This is the above user name’s password as required by the remote
system. You may use the \p in your login script in lieu of the full
password.
Device type This is the name of the modem device as defined in the Remote Site
Devices screen. You may have several ports setup with the same
device type, and the dialer daemon will use the first available. If a device
for dialling out is not available, IOLAN+ will return an ICMP ‘host
unreachable’ message (ICMP type 3 code 1).
Service type This specifies which protocol will be used when the link is established to
the remote site. Choices are SLIP, CSLIP or PPP.
Inactivity This is the period of inactivity on the SLIP/PPP link before the port will
drop the call automatically. Setting this field to 0 turns the timeout feature
off.
