Chapter 5
Network Dial In Access
Network dial in users establish PPP or SLIP connections with the NETServer and the local network. Unlike the “login users” covered in the previous chapter, this kind of user is connecting to the network as a virtual node rather than simply acting as an input/output device (terminal) for an existing network node. IPX
Dial-in User Setup
The instructions below are required by all remote users dialing in to the NETServer.
1.The remote user’s computer must have communications software that supports PPP or SLIP connections.
2.A PPP or SLIP protocol driver must be loaded on the remote user’s computer for PPP or SLIP connections.
3.Set the modem to 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit.
Note: These are the default settings only. If you want to, you can change what communications settings the NETServer uses on each port. See Port Configuration, Serial Communications Parameters in Chapter 10.
