Host Lists
A host list is a prioritized list of SSH, Telnet, and TCP hosts available for establishing incoming
modem connections or for the
connect direct
command on the CLI. The SLC unit cycles
through the list until it successfully connects to one.
To add a host list:
1. Click the
Devices
tab and select the
Host Lists
option. The following page displays:
Dial-back Retries
For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of times the SLC unit will retry the
dial-out portion of the dialing sequence if the first attempt to dial-out fails.
Timeout Logins
If you selected text mode, you can enable logins to time out after the
connection is inactive for a specified number of minutes. The default is
No
. This
setting only applies to text mode connections. PPP mode connections stay
connected until either side drops the connection. Disabled by default.
Negotiate IP Address
If the SLC and/or the serial device have dynamic IP addresses (e.g., IP
addresses assigned by a DHCP server), select
Yes
. This is the default.
If the SLC unit or the modem have fixed IP addresses, select
No
, and enter the
Local IP
(IP address of the internal modem) and
Remote IP
(IP address of the
modem).
Authentication
Enables
PAP
or
CHAP
authentication for modem logins.
PAP
is the default.
With
PAP
, users are authenticated by means of the Local Users and any of the
remote authentication methods that are enabled.
With
CHAP
, the
CHAP Handshake
fields authenticate the user.
CHAP Handshake
The
Host/User Name
(for UNIX systems) or
Secret/User Password
(for Windows systems) used for CHAP authentication.
May have up to 128 characters.
CHAP Auth Uses
For CHAP authentication, determines what is used to validate the CHAP host/
user sent by the remote peer: either the
CHAP Host
defined for the modem, or
any of the users in the
Local Users
list.
Enable NAT
Select to enable Network Address Translation (NAT) for dial-in and dial-out
PPP connections on a per modem (device port, USB port, or internal modem)
basis. Users dialing into the SLC unit access the network connected to Eth1
and/or Eth2.
Note:
IP forwarding must be enabled on the Network - Settings page for NAT
to work.
Dial-out Number
Phone number for dialing out to a remote system or serial device. May have up
to 20 characters. Any format is acceptable.
Remote/Dial-out Login
User ID for authentication when dialing out to a remote system, or if a remote
system requests authentication from the SLC module when it dials in. May have
up to 32 characters.
Remote/Dial-out
Password/ Retype
Password for authentication when dialing out to a remote system, or if a remote
system requests authentication from the SLC unit when it dials in. May have up
to 20 characters.
Restart Delay
The number of seconds after the timeout and before the SLC module attempts
another connection. The default is
30
seconds.
