Serial Port Profiles

Authentication

The timeout, in minutes, during which successful PAP or CHAP authentication

Timeout

must take place (when PAP or CHAP are specified). If the timer expires before

 

the remote end has been authenticated successfully, the link will be terminated.

 

Range: 1-255

 

Default: 1 minute

Roaming Callback

A user can enter a telephone number that the IOLAN will use to callback

 

him/her. This feature is particularly useful for a mobile user. Roaming callback

 

can only work when the User Enable Callback parameter is enabled. Enable

 

Roaming Callback therefore overrides (fixed) User Enable Callback.To use

 

Enable Roaming Callback, the remote end must be a Microsoft Windows OS

 

that supports Microsoft’s Callback Control Protocol (CBCP). The user is

 

allowed 30 seconds to enter a telephone number after which the IOLAN ends

 

the call.

 

Default: Disabled

Challenge Interval

The interval, in minutes, for which the IOLAN will issue a CHAP re-challenge

 

to the remote end. During CHAP authentication, an initial CHAP challenge

 

takes place, and is unrelated to CHAP re-challenges. The initial challenge takes

 

place even if re-challenges are disabled. Some PPP client software does not

 

work with CHAP re-challenges, so you might want to leave the parameter

 

disabled in the IOLAN.

 

Range: 0-255

 

Default: 0 (zero), meaning CHAP re-challenge is disabled

Address/Control

This determines whether compression of the PPP Address and Control fields

Compression

take place on the link. For most applications this should be enabled.

 

Default: Enabled

Protocol

This determines whether compression of the PPP Protocol field takes place on

Compression

this link.

 

Default: Enabled

VJ Compression

When enabled, Van Jacobson Compression is used on this link. If your user is

 

authenticated by the IOLAN, this VJ compression value will be overridden if

 

you have enabled the User, Enable VJ Compression parameter. If the user is

 

authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter Framed-Compression

 

is set in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in

 

preference to the value configured here.

 

Default: Enabled

Magic Negotiation

Determines if a line is looping back. If enabled (On), random numbers are sent

 

on the link. The random numbers should be different, unless the link loops

 

back.

 

Default: Disabled

IP Address

Specifies whether or not IP address negotiation will take place. IP address

Negotiation

negotiation is where the IOLAN allows the remote end to specify its IP

 

address. When On, the IP address specified by the remote end will be used in

 

preference to the Remote IP Address set for a Serial Port. When Off, the

 

Remote IP Address set for the Serial Port will be used.

 

Default: Disabled
