The Last String in a Dial Script

The last entry in the Dial Command Script must be a Reply string that indicates that the remote location is ready to begin receiving network packets. This activates the TCP/IP protocol coming from the NETServer.

When connecting to a remote NETServer for example, the final reply string to look for should be “SL/IP” or “PPP”. For other routers, consult the product’s own documentation.

Dial Script Example

The following Dial Command Script is an example of how to establish a connection between two NETServers which have modems supporting the AT dial command syntax:

Send

Reply

ATDT16155551234\r

CONNECT

\r

login:

my_location_name\r

password:

my_password\r

SL/IP

The 16155551234 would be replaced by the actual telephone number of the remote modem.

my_location_name would be replaced by the actual user name for your location.

my_password would be replaced by the actual password set up at the remote site for that user name.

Command Reference 10-23
