To configure CSM to recognize your remote devices, these prerequisites need to be in place:
1. The Concentrator should be properly installed and configured through its Local Management utility.
2. The CSM software should be properly installed and configured to recognize the Concentrator
(see
Section 5.2.2
).
3. The remote devices should be properly installed and configured, and make sure that their configuration
settings match the settings for them in CSM:
• The names of the remote devices that will access the Concentrator.
• The authentication information (secret and/or password) for these devices.
• An IP-pool name and a range of IP addresses for these remote devices, or permanent addresses for them
if you can’t use an IP-address pool.
• If you’ve configured the Concentrator for calling out and/or callback, phone numbers for these devices.
These values should be readily available if you recorded them on a copy of the Concentrator’s Worksheet;
see
Section 4.1
.
Take these steps to perform remote-device configuration in CSM:
1. From the CSM Connection Manager, select Configure on the menu bar.
2. Select Devices.
3. Select Add to add a device.
4. Under the Address tab, specify a name for the remote device.
5. Under the Protocols tab:
a. enable IP;
b. provide a permanent IP address, or check the Dynamic Address Assignment box; and
c. if you have selected Dynamic Address Assignment, select the IP pool you created from the pull-down
list.
6. Under the Access tab (Authentication):
a. select PPP as Layer 2 Protocol;
b. enable authentication; and
c. enter a PAP Password and/or CHAP Secret (enter both if you are not sure of the type of authentication
the Concentrator uses).
7. Press Add to add the device:
• If you plan to call out from the Concentrator to a remote device, continue with the remaining steps.
• If you do
not
plan to call out from the Concentrator, the configuration process is complete.
