Select Dial. The Pipeline makes an outgoing call using the value you entered
in the Dial# parameter of the Configure menu. Watch the upper right hand
corner Status Window. If you see the message: “LAN Session Up” your call
was successful. If you get a different message, double check your settings. If
you are still having trouble making a connection, refer to the appendix
entitled, “Troubleshooting,” in the User’s Guide.
Once the Pipeline has been successfully configured, it automatically makes a
call to the remote network whenever it receives traffic destined for that
network. This occurs when, for example, you open a web browser, select an
item in the Chooser on a Macintosh, or send email.
Securing the Pipeline
Once configured, the Pipeline should be secured, since anyone can use Telnet or
SNMP to access and reconfigure the unit. Ways to limit access are described in
the chapter entitled, “Setting up Pipeline Security,” in the User’s Guide. You
should at least assign a Read/Write SNMP password and a Telnet password.
To assign a Read/Write SNMP password, do the following:
1
From the Main Edit Menu, open Ethernet > Mod Config > SNMP Options.
2
In SNMP options, enter an alphanumeric value for R/W Comm.
This password is required to make changes to the Pipeline via the JBPC.
3
Exit and save the settings.
To assign a Telnet password, do the following:
1
Open Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options submenu.
2
Enter a value for Telnet PW
Exit and save the setting.
