IP address to be assigned to the terminal server

IP address to be used for PPP connections

Subnet mask for the network segment to which the terminal server will be connected

IP address of the default gateway to be used by the terminal server

The terminal server allows a user to establish a PPP connection to the internal modem. This connection allows a Telnet session to either the terminal server or another device on the network attached to the terminal server. In the latter case the terminal server acts as a dial-up security server.

When a remote user attempts to access other network devices via a

PPPsession, those devices must know how to direct their responses back to the user. The simplest way to accomplish this is with a router that supports RIP, the standard Router Information Protocol. The strategy is to make the devices on the network direct their responses to the router, and then have the router forward the data to the terminal server. To do this, ensure that a RIP-enabled router is on the network, and configure the other devices to use it as their default gateway. The terminal server will automatically use RIP to tell the router how to forward data addressed to the remote user when a PPP link is established.

NOTE: The network number (the first set of numbers) for the PPP connection in the terminal server should be different than the network number used for the network IP address. If the network address of the terminal server is 193.1.1.1 then the PPP address should not begin with 193.

To set network parameters, type SNP at the system prompt and press the Enter key. Each prompt is explained in subsequent paragraphs.
