Configuring the Location Table

value is set to 2 seconds or a longer interval, the port is reset after having no traffic for
the designated time. The idle timer is not reset by RIP or keepalive packets. To disable
the idle timer, set the value to 0.
Note – Idle timers for dial-in connections are set on each port or for specific users. Idle
timers for dial-out connections are set in the location table.
To set the idle time for a location with a manual or on-demand connection, use the
following command:
Command> set location Locname idletime Number

Setting Data over Voice
The PortMaster supports data-over-voice for inbound and outbound ISDN connections.
The PortMaster automatically accepts inbound voice calls and treats them as data calls.
You can force a data-over-voice call on an outbound ISDN connection by setting the
capability to on.
To turn on the data-over-voice capability for ISDN connections to a location, use the
following command:
Command> set location Locname voice on|off
For more information on ISDN connections, see Chapter 10, “Configuring T1, E1, and
ISDN PRI.”
Setting CHAP
When you enter a username and password into the location table, they are used as the
system identifier and message-digest algorithm 5 (MD5) secret for CHAP authentication.
You can turn on outbound CHAP authentication and eliminate the need to use the
sysname identifier and user table configurations for CHAP, unless the device being
dialed also dials in to the PortMaster. The default setting is off.
To set CHAP authentication for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname chap on|off
Setting the Asynchronous Character Map
The PPP protocol supports the replacement of nonprinting ASCII data in the PPP stream.
These characters are not sent through the line, but instead are replaced by a special set
of characters that the remote site interprets as the original characters. The PPP
asynchronous map is a bit map of characters that must be replaced. The lowest-order bit
corresponds to the first ASCII character NUL, and so on. Most environments must set
the asynchronous map to 0 (zero) to achieve maximum throughput.
To set the PPP asynchronous map for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname map Hex
