Dial-back Retries

For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of times the SLC unit will retry the

 

 

dial-out portion of the dialing sequence if the first attempt to dial-out fails.

 

 

 

 

Timeout Logins

If you selected text mode, you can enable logins to time out after the

 

 

connection is inactive for a specified number of minutes. The default is No. This

 

 

setting only applies to text mode connections. PPP mode connections stay

 

 

connected until either side drops the connection. Disabled by default.

 

 

 

 

Negotiate IP Address

If the SLC and/or the serial device have dynamic IP addresses (e.g., IP

 

 

addresses assigned by a DHCP server), select Yes. This is the default.

 

 

If the SLC unit or the modem have fixed IP addresses, select No, and enter the

 

 

Local IP (IP address of the internal modem) and Remote IP (IP address of the

 

 

modem).

 

 

 

 

Authentication

Enables PAP or CHAP authentication for modem logins. PAP is the default.

 

 

With PAP, users are authenticated by means of the Local Users and any of the

 

 

remote authentication methods that are enabled.

 

 

With CHAP, the CHAP Handshake fields authenticate the user.

 

 

 

 

CHAP Handshake

The Host/User Name (for UNIX systems) or

Enable NAT

Select to enable Network Address Translation (NAT) for dial-in and dial-out

 

 

PPP connections on a per modem (device port, USB port, or internal modem)

 

 

basis. Users dialing into the SLC unit access the network connected to Eth1

 

 

and/or Eth2.

 

 

Note: IP forwarding must be enabled on the Network - Settings page for NAT

 

 

to work.

up to 32 characters.
