Chapter 6 Dialout modem ports setup
Field Description
Sitename The IP name or IP address of the remote site Terminal Server will be
calling.
User name The user name required by the remote system for logging in. You
may use the \u in your login script in lieu of the full name.
Password The above user name’s password as required by the remote system.
You may use the \p in your login script in lieu of the full password.
Device type The name of the modem device as defined in the Remote Access
Systems Screen. You may have several ports setup with the same
device type, and the dialer will use the first available. If a device for
dialling out is not available, the Terminal Server will return an ICMP
‘host unreachable’ message (ICMP type 3 code 1).
Service type: This specifies which protocol will be used when the link is established
to the remote site. Choices are PPP, SLIP and CSLIP.
Inactivity The period (in minutes) of inactivity on the SLIP/ PPP link before the
port drops the call automatically. Setting this field to 0 turns the
timeout feature off.
Phone number The phone number of the remote system. Note that the ‘\’ may be
used as a delay. For example, a phone system that requires a 9
followed by a four-second delay before getting an outside line would
require an entry like 9\4-2145551234.
The following
characters are ignored
‘(‘, ‘)’, ‘-’, ‘.’ when included as part of the number.
Login-script The chat script that will be used to login to the remote system. It takes
the form of the usual Send/Expect chat script you may already be
familiar with. If no script is defined, this step is skipped (for example,
hardwired connections). There are a few special characters used by
the Terminal Server as described below:
"" expect nothing (for example, the Terminal Server starts the chat
script)
\r send a carriage return
\n send new-line
\u user name (sends the username from the User name field).
\p password (sends the password from the password field).
\1-\9 delay for number of seconds.
\s space (Substitute this instead of a <space> value).
\t phone# (sends the telephone number field).
\d send the modem’s dial command
\\ escapes to ‘\’.
\b send a break.
