Dial-in Port
The following is the port configuration for a dial-in connection, including PPP.
The following fields are important:
Option Description
Monitor DCD With this flag set to Yes, IOLAN+ will monitor Data Carrier Detect (DCD)
- pin 8 - from the modem. As soon as your modem answers a call and
establishes a carrier signal, the modem raises DCD. The terminal server
will then establish a telnet/rlogin connection to a specified host. When the
modem hangs up, DCD goes low and the terminal server port resets.
This will also drop the connection to the host.
TERM This field is the TERM environment variable.Whatever you type in here
will be passed to the host as the TERM variable when a telnet
connection is established and the user logs in.
Flow Ctrl The modem and terminal server port should be configured to use
Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control. This will be especially important if you
are using SLIP.
