Configuring Dial-Out Connections 8-5
Configuring the Location Table
To configure a location to support a manual connection, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname manual
Note – Disconnect dial-out connections by resetting the port before switching a
connection type from manual to on demand ,.
Setting the Telephone Number
The telephone number setting is used to dial out to the remote location.
To set the telephone number of the remote location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname telephone String
Setting the Username and Password
The username and password are what the PortMaster uses to authenticate itself to the
remote host. Note that the username and password you enter here must also be resident
on the remote host (in the user table, RADIUS, or other authentication mechanism).
To set the username and password, use the following commands:
Command> set location Locname username Username
Command> set location Locname password Password
Setting the Protocol
The network protocol for a dial-out location can be set for PPP packet encapsulation,
SLIP encapsulation, or a Frame Relay subinterface. PPP can be used with either or both
IP and IPX packet routing. You should select a protocol that is compatible with the
remote location.
Note – New location table entries default to PPP.
To set the protocol for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname protocol slip | ppp | frame | x75-sync
For more information about setting the location protocol to a Frame Relay subinterface,
see “Frame Relay Subinterfaces” on page 13-12.
