Setting Up the Network Access Server

can be configured either CTS (CTS-DSR-RTS-DTR) or RI (RI-DCD-DSRS- DTR). Based on configuration, correct adapter must be chosen (see Appendix A). Current high-speed modems (>9600 baud) typically use CTS.

Configuring the Port for the Login Method

You can configure a port to log in to a local user interface prompt or to be exclusively dedicated to PPP. To configure a port for login to a local user interface prompt, refer to the Configuring the Port for Login to the Local Prompt section in this chapter. To configure a port to be exclusively dedicated to PPP, refer to the Configuring the Port Dedicated to PPP section in this chapter.

Configuring the Port for Login to the Local Prompt

Following modem connection, the PC user will log in to the local interface with or without password authentication. Then, the user will have the option to activate PPP using user interface commands.

Activating PPP

To configure the port with login password authentication required, use the following commands:

Local> CHANGE SERVER LOGIN PASSWORD xxxxxx

Local> CHANGE PORT n PASSWORD ENABLE

Local> CHANGE PORT n AUTOBAUD ENABLE SPEED 9600

Local> CHANGE PORT n DEDICATED NONE

Configuring the Port With No Login Password Authentication Required

To configure the port with no login password authentication required, use the following commands:

Local> CHANGE PORT n PASSWORD DISABLE

Local> CHANGE PORT n AUTOBAUD ENABLE SPEED 9600

Local> CHANGE PORT n DEDICATED NONE

Note

Both login password authentication and PPP/PAP password authentication use the same password. One or both can be enabled at the same time.
