Async lines accept incoming modems calls. If you will have users dialing in via modems, configure these lines.

Configure Async lines? [yes]: Async line speed [115200]:

Will you be using the modems for inbound dialing? [yes]:

Would you like to put all async interfaces in a group and configure them all at one time ? [yes]:

Allow dial-in users to choose a static IP address? [no]: Configure for TCP header compression? [yes]:

Configure for routing updates on async links? [no]:

Enter the starting address of IP local pool? [X.X.X.X]: 10.1.2.1

Enter the ending address of IP local pool? [X.X.X.X]: 10.1.2.59

You can configure a test user to verify that your dial-up service is working properly

Would you like to create a test user? [no]:

Will you be using the modems for outbound dialing? [no]:

Step 9 Enter the letter corresponding to the ISDN switch type that matches your telco switch type, or press Enter to accept the default:

Do you want to configure ISDN switch type? [yes]:

The following ISDN switch types are available:

[a]primary-4ess

[b]primary-5ess

[c]primary-dms100

[d]primary-net5

[e]primary-ntt

[f]primary-ts014

Enter the switch type [b]:

Next, you will be prompted to configure controllers.

These controllers enable users to dial in via ISDN or analog modems.

Step 10 Enter yes to allow users to dial in via ISDN or analog modems:

Do you intend to allow users to dial in? [yes]:

There are 2 controllers on this access server. If you want to use the full capacity of the access server configure all controllers.

Controller T3 0,1...etc in software corresponds to Port 0,1...etc on the back of the access server.

PRI configuration can be configured to controllers all at once based on your PRI controllers selection. Where as CAS configuration will be configured individually for each controller.

Step 11 Enter the number of controllers you will be using for the PRI configuration or press Enter to configure all controllers:

Enter # of controllers, you will be using for PRI configuration [2]:

Configuring controller parameters:

Step 12 Press Enter for every slot, port, and channel:

Configuring controller t1 3/0:

Configuring PRI on this controller.

Configuring controller t1 3/1:

Configuring PRI on this controller.

Step 13 Enter yes to configure the FastEthernet0/0 interface to connect the gateway to a LAN, then respond to the remaining questions to configure the FastEthernet port:

Do you want to configure FastEthernet0/0 interface? [yes]:

Use the 100 Base-TX (RJ-45) connector? [yes]:
