Configuring Inbound PPP Connections: Command Line
Use this section to configure simple inbound PPP connections from the command line. For information on fine-
tuning PPP connections, see the set user command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
Note: CHAP authentication works between two Digi devices. CHAP will be negotiated to PAP for all other
connections
Procedure
1. To configure the port for a modem, enter the following command:
set ports range=range dev=device
where range is the port or ports and device is one of the following:
min for inbound only modem connections
mio for bidirectional modem connections.
See the set ports command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference for more information.
Example: set ports range=3 device=min
2. To configure flow control for the ports, enter the following command:
set flow range=range flow-control=scheme
where range is the port or ports and flow-control=scheme is the flow control required for this connection.
Typically, for modem connections RTS and CTS are on.
Example: set flow range=3 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on
See the set flow command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference for more information.
3. To configure the baud rate for this connection, enter the following command:
set line range=range baud=bps
where range is the port or ports to configure and bps is the line speed in bits-per-second. Typically, you can
set this to 115000 bps for modem connections.
Example: set line range=3 baud=115000
4. To create an inbound PPP user, enter the following command:
set user name=name protocol=ppp netservice=on
defaultaccess=netservice
where name is a name to assign the PPP user
Example:
set user name=pppin protocol=ppp netservice=on defaultaccess=netservice
5. To configure an IP address for the remote PPP user, enter the following command:
set user name=name ipaddr=ip-address
where
name is the users name
ip-address is one of the following: (a) A standard IP address in dotted decimal format. (b) 0.0.0.0, which
means the remote user will supply the IP address (c) ippool, which means that the user will be assigned an
IP address from an IP address pool. See the set ippool command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command
Reference.
Example:
set user name=pppin ipaddr=ippool
