NETServer Dial-In (Detailed Setup)

To set up the NETServer software for this application:

Configure at least one port

Create a user table entry for each user

Configuring a Port

Ports used for this type of dial-in access should be configured as Network ports that allow dial in.

Step 1 - Port Type

Set the port type. Usually, you would configure the port as a network dialin port. If you will be configuring dialback users, or will also be using the port for dial out routing, configure the port as network twoway. Use the following command:

set s<port #> network <dialin twoway hardwired>

Hardwired: Setting a port to Hardwired tells the NETServer’s operating software that you are establishing a synchronous connection via a serial cable. Since s0 is the only serial port, this is the only port for which the hardwired setting is valid.

If you configure s0 as Hardwired, set the following parameters and go to Step 4. (For an explanation, see Ports Table, Hardwired Port Parameters in Chapter 10).
