Configure incoming PPP connections
This section describes how to configure an incoming PPP connection. Use it to configure a PPP
connection that will be initiated by another system dialing into the ConnectPort LTS server.
Prerequisite
Assign a modem profile with an incoming connection to the Digi device server port. See
Assign a profile to a serial port
for more information.
To configure the rules for incoming PPP connections:
1. Select
Application
>
PPP
.
2. Click
Incoming PPP Connections
.
3. Click
New Connection
.
4. Under
Authentication Configuration
, complete the following fields:
n

n

: Type the password.
n

: Enable when you want the user name and password
associated with any PPP user.
n
Authentication
: Choose one of the following authentication methods:
l
NONE
: The remote user does not require PPP authentication.
l
CHAP
: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication is
required.
l
PAP
: Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) authentication is required.
l
BOTH
: Both CHAP and PAP authentication are required.
PPP authentication uses this information.
Note
To use the
Local
authentication method for serial port authentication, you need to enter
the user name and password of an existing system user. If not, the PPP connection will fail
because you cannot specify a PPP user on the
Authentication
page of the serial port
separately.
If you choose the
None
authentication method for serial port authentication, you can add any
user even if the user is not in the local database as a system user; you can select a user name
from the
PPP User
menu on the Authentication page for the serial port.
