Remote Network to Office (LCL400)
Remote Gateway (non-AS400) is a gateway that is attached to an Ethernet
network. Remote Gateway could call LCL400 during the night to allow systems
on the Remote Gateway’s Ethernet network (192.68.2.0) to transfer files to
either LCL400 or its attached network. Remote Gateway also allows the
forwarding of mail to a mail server on the 192.68.2.0 network.
Configuring LCL400 for all Scenarios
Access Point-to-Point functions through Operations Navigator.
From the General page, perform the following tasks:
vSpecify a profile name (LCL400 for this example).
vSelect PPP as the ″Type.″
vSpecify Switched line-answer as the ″Mode.″
v(Optional) Specify a description.
From the Connection page, perform the following tasks:
vSelect an existing PPP line from the drop-down box and click Open. In this
example, the line 400ANSWER is used.
If an existing line does not exist, you can create a new one by specifying the

Open. In this example, the validation list OFFICE_400 is used.
If a new validation list is required, create a new one by specifying the name and
clicking New.
Figure 74 shows the ValidationList dialog.
The following values hold true for this example of the Validation List dialog:
vThe user IDs RMTOFFICE and RMTGATEWAY have been added for CHAP
authentication.
vRMTOFFICE is the user ID for RMT400 to dial in to LCL400.
