The NPort 6000 provides dial-in/dial-out access for ISPs and enterprises that need a remote access
solution. When a user at a remote site uses a PPP dial-up connection to access the NPort 6000, the
NPort 6000 plays the role of a dial-up server, but also ensures that the user has legal access to the
network by verifying the user’s identity with the NPort 6000 User Table or a RADIUS server.
Please refer to the Misc. Network Settings section in
Chapter 9, System Management Settings, for
instructions on setting up the NPort 6000 User Table.
The NPort 6000 supports PPP, SLIP, and Terminal modes for dial-in/dial-out access. Regardless of
which operating system is used, you will always be able to use standard PPP dial-up to establish a
connection. The NPort 6000 can also act as a router to connect serial ports to a WAN connection.
Routing protocols (including static, RIP I, and RIP II) can be adjusted to route different WAN
connections.
Please refer to
Chapter 5, Configuration with the Web Console, for detailed information and
configuration instructions.
Disabled Mode
You can disable any port on the NPort 6000 by setting the operation mode to Disabled.
