ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL

name

The user name to be established.

dialup iface login_pwd password

Establishes a password to coincide with the user’s name for authentication when operating between other dialup routers.

Many routers present a standard login prompt:

login: name

Password: password

iface

modem0-4, sync0 (the interface for which you wish to establish a password)

password The password is typically seven characters in length.

dialup iface logprompt [on off]

Turns on or off the generation of a “login:” prompt on asynchronous interfaces (modem0, modem1, etc.). The “login:” prompt enables clients to enter a name and password prior to the start of the PPP protocol. The prompt is on by default.

iface

modem0-4(the interface for which you wish to establish a password)

dialup iface once phone# [secs]

Executes the redial procedure once. This is useful for testing the dialup parameters. The secs parameter is ignored.

iface

modem0-4, sync0 (the interface for which you wish to test parameters)

phone# The phone number of the remote device you want redialed.

secs ignored

dialup iface quota mins [-e]

Specifies the daily maximum number of minutes your Router may stay connected on outgoing calls. This is very useful if you have a misconfigured network that continuously attempts to send packets through a modem interface. The quota is reset every night at midnight or when a new quota command is given. The amount of quota left for the day is displayed in the dialup status command.

Monitor phone line usage closely after installation. Use the quota mechanism to limit phone costs.

iface

modem0-4, sync0 (the interface for which you wish to set a quota)

mins

Enter the number of minutes you want allotted for the quota. The default is 1440

minutes,

or 24 hours.

 

-e

Returns an ICMP destination-unreachable packet to the sender when the quota is reached

 

in addition to delivering the packet. This gives the user an indication that sending data to

 

the destination is currently not allowed.

dialup iface reset

Stops the current dialer process and restarts it. This is a way to force a redial on a keepup or demand line where the idle timer has not yet expired. The configuration of the line is not changed.
