Configuring Inbound PPP Connections Command Line

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 infor- mation.

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=schemeis 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 infor- mation.

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. Typi- cally, 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 user’s name

•ip-addressis 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.

Exam ple: set user name=pppin ipaddr=ippool

6.If you used the IP address pool option in the previous step, specify the following subnetwork mask using the following command: (a mask of 255.255.255.255 is required)

set user ipmask=255.255.255.255
