Dial-in Port
The following is the port configuration for a dial-in connection, including PPP.
The following fields are important:
Option Description
Monitor DCD With this flag set to Yes, your Terminal Server will monitor Data Carrier
Detect (DCD) - pin 8 - from the modem. As soon as your modem
answers a call and establishes a carrier signal, the modem raises DCD.
The terminal server will then establish a telnet/rlogin connection to a
specified host. When the modem hangs up, DCD goes low and the
terminal server port resets. This will also drop the connection to the host.
TERM This field is the TERM environment variable.Whatever you type in here
will be passed to the host as the TERM variable when a telnet
connection is established and the user logs in.
Flow Ctrl The modem and terminal server port should be configured to use
Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control. This will be especially important if you
are using SLIP.
