Figure 82: Edit Modem Configuration

This menu allows you to configure the modem settings and features.

The Dial-in console fields allows the modem to answer incoming calls and present a login just like the console serial port does. The same login is used for both.

The PPP server fields allows the modem to answer incoming calls and setup a PPP connection to the remote system to provide network access.

The Radius Authentication fields will force incoming PPP connections to authenticate against the Radius servers configured in the Maintenance menu, Radius Authentication sub-menu.

The Dial-in Console and PPP Server can be enabled at the same time. The router will automatically detect if an incoming call is PPP or console only. Is the PPP client is enabled, it will try to maintain the PPP link at all times, and hence block incoming calls most of the time. Enabling the PPP Client at the same time as the Dial-in Console and/or PPP Server is not recommended.
