ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, ASYNC ROUTER AR-5, SYNC ROUTER RELEASE NOTES

•The type of system to which your Router will connect.

The Router configuration process includes options to configure your Router to connect to some other popular routers, like the Livingston Portmaster or the Telebit Netblazer or PN. Ask your ISP if you will be connecting to any of those, and if so, choose the corresponding configuration option for your Router during initial configuration.

If the ISP system is not a Router, Livingston Portmaster or the Telebit Netblazer or PN, then you must create a dialing script for the Router. Obtain from your ISP a sample dialer script, or modify the other.dcf file on the Router diskette.

The Router provides this information by means of a dialer script. The Router will build the script for systems like the Livingston Portmaster or the Telebit Netblazer or PN.

If your Router is connecting to an Ascend system, at the Router prompt, issue the following commands:

ppp iface lcp local accm 0xa0000 ppp iface lcp local acfc off ppp iface lcp local pfc off config save

•The IP address of that system

This often called the “Router’s peer” IP address.

•Username and password

Most ISPs will give you a username and a password that will be used to authenticate your Router at the time the connection is established. Your ISP’s system will ask the Router for this information. The username and password must be in the dialer script used by the Router. If you choose to connect to a Router, Livingston Portmaster or the Telebit Netblazer or PN, the Router configuration process will put the username and password into the dialer script for you.

•If PAP or CHAP is used, the name and password

Ask your ISP if they will be authenticating your Router using the PAP or CHAP protocols. If your ISP will not be using PAP or CHAP, then answer NONE when the initial configuration process asks for authentication method. No other work is required. If your ISP will be using PAP or CHAP, you must configure your Router to use PAP (or CHAP).

PAP and CHAP authentication works in either or both of two ways: the ISP’s system can request your Router to authenticate itself (using PAP/CHAP), and/or your Router can request your ISP’s system to authenticate itself (using PAP/CHAP). In other words, their system can authenticate your system, or your system can authenticate their system, or both.

ISPs typically configure their systems to authenticate customers trying to establish connections with them (such as you with your Router). However, ISPs typically do not configure their systems to authenticate themselves to customers.

To configure the Router so that it will authenticate itself to the ISP’s system, and not require the ISP’s system to authenticate itself to the Router, answer NONE when prompted for the authentication method that you wish to use, during the configuration process.

After finishing the initial configuration process and rebooting, enter the following command at the Router prompt:

ppp iface pap user [username] [password] (for PAP) config save
