Connecting to devices using PPP
The SCPS supports remote PPP access using an auto-answer modem that answers calls
and establishes the PPP protocol with a dial-in client.
The PPP dial-in can be used to access a remote SCPS that does not warrant a WAN
(Wide Area Network) link to the Ethernet interface. In this case, the PPP connection
allows a remote PC with Telnet capability to dial the SCPS and then establish a
Telnet connection to an SCPS port.
The PPP dial-in can also be used to access a subnet containing remote SCPS devices
in the event of a WAN link failure. In this case, the PPP provides an alternate path to
one or more remote SCPS devices.
Once the PPP connection is established, you must launch an application that
connects to the SCPS or to one of its ports. The PPP connection is only a
communications interface to the SCPS.
The SCPS implements a PPP server that uses CHAP (Challenge Authentication
Protocol). Passwords are not accepted in the clear on PPP connections.
To enable or disable a PPP server on the serial CLI port:
1. To enable a PPP server on the serial CLI port, issue a Show Server CLI
command to ensure that a serial CLI port has been defi ned.
SHOW SERVER CLI
2. Issue a Server PPP command with the Enable parameter.
SERVER PPP ENABLE LOCALIP=<
local_ip
> REMOTEIP=<
rem_ip
>
[MASK=<
subnet
>]
You must specify local and remote IP addresses to be used for the SCPS and
client ends of the PPP connection respectively. You are prompted to confi rm or
cancel the changes. Enter
Y
to confi rm or
N
to cancel.
3. To disable a PPP server, issue a Server PPP command with the
Disable parameter.
