Configuring a Port So That a PC Can Function as a Terminal or SLIP Host

Configuring a Port So That a PC Can Function as a Terminal or SLIP Host

Introduction

This section describes how to configure an access server port so that you can use an attached PC as a both a terminal and a SLIP host. With this configuration, port users can switch between terminal emulation and SLIP mode.

To configure the port so that the PC acts only like a SLIP host, refer to the Configuring a Dedicated SLIP Port section in this chapter.

Before you configure a port for SLIP communications as shown in the following example, you must configure the device and port characteristics as described in Chapter 9.

Example: Configuring a PC As a Terminal and SLIP Host

The following example shows a sample port configuration that enables a PC to act as both a terminal and a SLIP host:
