configured to acquire its IP address dynamically. For example, the following a sample software
configuration presumes that the PC has a modem connection to the MAX unit:
Username=victor
Accept Assigned IP=Yes
IP address=Dynamic (or Assigned or N/A)
Netmask=255.255.255.255 (or None or N/A)
Default Gateway=None or N/A
Name Server=10.2.3.55
Domain suffix=abc.com
Baud rate=38400
Hardware handshaking ON
VAN Jacobsen compression ON
Configuring pools using local profiles
To configure the MAX unit to accept dial-in connections from Site B and assign an IP address:
1Open Ethernet > Mod Config > WAN Options.
2Set the Pool#1 Start parameter to specify the start address of the pool, and set the Pool#1
Count parameter to specify the number of contiguous addresses the pool includes. For
example:
Ethernet
Mod Config
WAN options
Pool#1 start=10.12.253.1
Pool#1 count=126
Pool#1 name=Engineering Dept.
Pool only=Yes
Pool Summary=Yes
3Open the Ether Options subprofile, then set the Proxy Mode parameter to Yes.
Ether options
Proxy Mode=Yes
4Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
5Open the Answer profile and set the Assign Adrs parameter to enable dynamic address
assignment and set the PPP Options > Route IP parameter to enable IP routing:
Ethernet
Answer
Assign Adrs=Yes
PPP options
Route IP=Yes
6Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
7Open a Connection profile for the dial-in user.
8Set the Station parameter to specify the users name, set the Active parameter to activate
the profile, and specify the desired encapsulation options. For example:
Ethernet
Connections
Connection profile
Station=victor
Active=Yes
Encaps=PPP
