Chapter 4 Setting up dial-in modem ports
Dst: This field contains the IP address the dial-in user will borrow for the PPP
session. If you are using a straight forward dial-in connection for Unix,
this is not required.
Mask If using PPP, SLIP or CSLIP, this is the subnet mask that controls the
range of IP addresses accessible from the port and must correspond
with your network. (If used for terminals, this is not needed.)
Secure This field is set to Yes to force the call-in user to use the Dst IP address.
(su is not available in this mode.) If the Secure flag is set, the dial-in user
will not be able to obtain administrative privileges. This also applies to
local terminals.
Access Set this field to Dynamic. This sets the port of the terminal server
to listen for data on both the RS-232 side and the network side. If
only used for dial-in, set to Local and it will only listen on the RS-
232 side.
Connection With the connection set to Dedicated, the port will automatically
connect to a specified host when not doing PPP (DCD goes high
on the modem).
Host When not doing PPP, this field defines which host computer you
want the port to automatically connect to. Use the host’s IP
address. You can also define the host in the terminal server’s Host
Table and just use the name.
Remote
port This corresponds to the Login (for example, rlogin) service on the
remote host and must be 513 (or 23 for Telnet).
Local port The inetd process running on the terminal server for this port is
listening for TCP/IP connections on TCP port 10006.
