Network Dial-Out Configuration
Add Modem Groups
By default all modem ports on your NETServer belong to a
default modem group called all. However, you can define
several modem groups that contain any number of interfaces.
Modem interfaces can belong to more than one modem group.
When a network user requests the use of a modem group, he or
she will be assigned the first available modem from that group.
If all modems in the modem group are being used, the user will
receive an message indicating a modem could not be made
available. The user can either re-submit the request for a
modem, or select another modem group.
Configure modem groups by specifying the interfaces that you
want to belong to the group:
add modem_group
<group_name>
interface
mod:1,mod:2,mod:3, etc.]
For example, to configure two modem groups, one called abc,
the other xyz, you might enter the following commands:
add modem_group abc interface mod:1,mod:9,mod:10,mod:12
add modem_group xyz interface mod:2,mod:[3-7]
Add Dial-Out Service
Adding a dial-out service configures the NETServer to listen for
client requests for access to NETServer modems. Use the
following command (Telnet users refer to page 6-6):
add network service
<name>
server_type dialout
data
<modem group information>
socket
<number>
name
Name (sent via SAP) you specify for the service.
server_type
Designates the type of service. The parameter
in this case is
dialout.
data
Used to assign a modem group to the dialout
service.
Note
: You may
not
assign more than
one modem group to DialOut service.
socket
The port the server listens on. For TELNET, tftp,
or cleartcp, it is the TCP or UDP port number.
