Configure Outbound PPP Connections with Filters
To configure outbound-only PPP connections with filters, or the outbound
portion of bidirectional connections with filters, follow the steps below.
Regarding outbound PPP connections:
• If you do not require filters for your outbound PPP connection, you may
use this procedure, but omit step 1. If there is no filter, when the dialout
connection is turned on, the device will automatically dial out.
• For dialout outbound connections to a non-Digi device, select a PPP
authentication type of none, using the “set user” option “pppauth=none.”
CHAP authentication works between two Digi devices.
• If you change a filter type after an initial configuration, existing PPP
sessions must be terminated and reestablished For the new filter
settings to take effect.
1. To set the filter for the outbound connection, enter:
#> set filter name=”filter name” s1=dst/ip address/subnetmask
See "set filter" on page 111 for more details on filters.
2. To set the flow control to hardware, enter:
#> set flow range=1 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on
Note: PortServer TS 1/3+Modem flow control default is Hardware.
3. To configure the user for the outbound PPP connection, enter:
#> set user name=”<username>” protocol=ppp
4. To set up the user for the PPP environment, including such items as the
local IP address, the devices, and telephone number, enter:
#> set user name=”<username>” ipaddr=negotiated ipmask=255.255.255.255
For a description of the options for specifying the IP address, see
"ipaddr=ip addr" on page 236 of the “set user” command description.
#> set user name=”username” defaultaccess=netservice autoport=513
password=on
#> set user name=”username” outgoing=on autoservice=default
#> set user name=”username” bringup=”filter name”
#> set user name=”username” device=”gendialer”
5. To assign the dialscript to which the port the modem is connected,
enter:
#> set device name=”gendialer” baud=no dialer=genmdm chat=no port=1
