Instruction Manual

Please note: The ECS0016 requires an external modem attached (via a serial cable) to the DB9 port (marked Local, located on the front panel).

Configure Dial In PPP

To enable dial-in PPP access on the ECS0016 console/modem port:

1.Select the System: Dial menu option and the port to be configured (Serial DB9 Port or Internal Modem Port). The ECS0016 console/ modem serial port is set by default to 115200 baud, No parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit, with software (XonXoff) flow control enabled. When enabling OoB dial-in on ECS0016 units, it is recommended that this be changed to 38,4000 baud with Hardware Flow Control.

2.Select the Baud Rate and Flow Control that will communicate with the modem. You can further configure the console/modem port (e.g. to include modem init strings) by editing /etc/mgetty.config files.

3.Check the Enable Dial In Access box.

4.Enter the User name and Password to be used for the dial-in PPP link.

5.In the Remote Address field, enter the IP address to be assigned to the dial-in client. You can select any address for the Remote IP Address, however it and the Local IP Address, must both be in the same network range (e.g. 200.100.1.12 - 200.100.1.67)

In the Local Address field enter the IP address for the Dial-In PPP Server. This is the IP address that will be used by the remote client to access ECS0016, once the modem connection is established. Any address within the IP range of the Remote IP Address can be used (e.g. 200.100.1.12 - 200.100.1.67) addresses must be in the same network range as the Remote IP Address.

The Default Route option enables the dialed PPP connection to become the default route for the ECS0016 gateway.

The Custom Modem Initialization option allows a custom AT string modem initialization string to be entered (e.g. AT&C1&D3&K3)
