Setting Up NETServer B

NETServer B (a 16 port NETServer) will dial out to NETServer A using ports 10 and 11 (The port defaults will not work in this case).

set s10 network dialout set s11 network dialout

Instead of user entries, dial out ports have entries in the location table. In this case, a location entry for NETServer A.

add location nsa

(For CHAP, “nsa” is NETServer A’s Sysname)

set location on_demand

set location nsa destination 192.77.203.1 (the location has nsa’s IP address)

set location nsa netmask 255.255.255.0

(and netmask, IPX network number etc)

set location nsa ipxnet 2

set location nsa protocol ppp

Looks sort of like a user entry so far, right? But, a dial out location needs a little more information, for example, which modems it can use to dial out to this particular location.

set s10 group 1 set s11 group 1

set location nsa group 1

The following lines tell the NETServer to dial out with the second modem when the queue is backed up by more than 1000bytes (the “High Water Mark” is exceeded).

set location nsa high_water 1000 set location nsa maxports 2

Since we will be using multiple lines, we will configure the modems to dial separate numbers.

set s10 at “AT&Z1=555-1000\r” set s11 at “AT&Z1=555-1001\r”

Next, we need to add a dial script to tell the NETServer to use the stored numbers. When the NETServer is finished dialing, it will wait for a connect message.

set location nsa script 1 “ATDS1\r” “CONNECT”
