5-18 Network Dial In Acces

Reset Compression Mode

Determines how often PPP should examine packets to decide

when to re-negotiate the optimum compression algorithm.

Default: auto.

Transmit Asynchronous Character Control Map

Determines whether the NETServer uses the asynchronous

control character map to filter outgoing data. Default: ffffffff.

Configuring Additional Parameters

In addition to the protocol-specific parameters that you

configure for IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, you can also set several

standard network user parameters.

MTU

Determines the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), or largest

packet size the NETServer will accept. The default setting is

1514. PPP and ARAP connections will negotiate the MTU. For

SLIP, the MTU on both ends of the connection must match.

• PPP - 1500 bytes

• SLIP - 1006 bytes

• ARAP - 600 bytes

Use the following command:

set network user

<name>

mtu

PAP/CHAP Authentication

By default, the NETServer is configured globally to use either

PAP or CHAP authentication for PPP connections.

The default setting is either. When a user dials in, the

NETServer first tries to authenticate the user using CHAP. If

the remote computer does not respond, the NETServer attempts

to use PAP. If the remote computer doesn't respond, the

connection is dropped.
