Configuring PPP Dial On Demand

Configuring PPP Dial On Demand

The IOLAN can be configured to access remote networks via modems connected to the serial interface of the IOLAN. By configuring the IOLAN for the Remote Access (PPP) profile, data that is destined for the remote network will initiate a modem connection to the remote network to route the data to its appropriate destination.

If you want to configure a serial port to use PPP dial on demand, do the following:

1.Create an entry for the modem and its initialization string (Serial, Advanced, Modems tab).

2.Set the serial port to Remote Access (PPP).

3.In Remote Access (PPP), select the Advanced tab. Enable the Connect option and select Dial Out. Set the Modem parameter to the modem you just added. Enter the Phone number that the modem will be calling.

4.Still on the Advanced tab, set the Idle Timeout parameter to a value that is not zero (setting this value to zero creates a permanent connection).

5.On the General tab, enter one of the following: z A Local and/or Remote IPv4 Address

z A Local and/or Remote IPv6 Interface Identifier

Note that this IP address or interface identifier should be on its own unique network; that is, not part of the local or remote networks.

In this example, the local network has an IPv4 address of 172.16.0.0/16 and the remote network has an IPv4 address of 204.16.0.0/16, so we arbitrarily assigned the PPP IPv4 Local IP Address as 195.16.20.23 and the PPP IPv4 Remote IP Address as 195.16.20.24.
