USRobotics NETServer/16, NETServer/8 manual IPX connections require the PPP protocol

Protocol

Default is SLIP. This is the protocol the NETServer should use to encapsulate packets bound for the user.

set user <user name> protocol <ppp slip>

IPX connections require the PPP protocol.

PPP Async Map

The PPP protocol supports the escaping of non-printing ASCII characters. Escaping means that specific characters won’t be sent, but will be replaced by a special set of characters. The remote site then interprets this special set of characters as the original characters.

The PPP Async Map is a bit-map of the 32ASCII control charac- ters (the first 32 characters of the ASCII character set), repre- sented as 8 hexadecimal digits. The order is big endian, which means that the last bit of the last character corresponds to the first ASCII character (Null) and so on.

set user <user name> map <value>

For example, to escape the ASCII null character to a user named Ted_S, the command would be

set user Ted_S map 00000001

The default is 00000000 (do not escape any characters). We recommend that you do not change this field unless specifically required by your network.

Netmask

This is the network user’s IP subnet mask. The default is 255.255.255.0, which would be appropriate for a Class C net- work with no subnetting or for Class C size subnets of larger networks. You must change this value if the user has a different subnet mask. Use the following command:

set user <user name> netmask <value>
