Changing WAN Port Parameters
In order to change the WAN port parameters of Data Communications Equipment (DCE) devices
connected to the WAN connectors on the ProxyServer, click on the WAN button in the Proxy Setup
menu. The WAN Setup dialog box is displayed.
From this dialog, you can configure the parameters of the three WAN ports. To enable a specific
WAN port, click the associated tab (WAN 1, WAN 2, or WAN 3) and click (check) the Port Enable
check box. Once enabled, select the Serial Line Speed, for that port, from the drop down list.
The ProxyServer supports scripting on the WAN ports. The Script Control group can be used to
enable scripting on the selected WAN port (Script Enable) and to cause scripting to restart if the
WAN port is dropped and reactivated. This feature can be useful when special handling is needed on
a WAN port (i.e., extra authentication, special communications equipment, etc.). The default setting
for this option is disabled (unchecked). Scripting is discussed in more detail in
Appendix B
.
The Connection Method group allows you to configure the port as Direct Connect/Leased Line,
and allows you to select the Modem Type for the DCE device connected to that port (see
Appendix
D
or the online Help for more information on adding, editing and deleting modem command strings).
The Link Usage Control group, when enabled, causes the ProxyServer to drop the connection on
the selected WAN port after a specified duration without activity (as defined in the Idle Time field).
The default setting is enabled (checked). If you do not wish to use this option, click to disable
(uncheck) it.
The Bring Up Port if More Than group allows you to configure WAN ports 2 and 3 to become active
based on the traffic detected. You can configure this based on Active Connections or Active IP
Host Machines. This group is not applicable to WAN 1, and is therefore inactive (grayed out) when
the WAN 1 tab is selected.
The ProxyServer can be configured to limit certain workstations, based on IP addresses, to the
selected port using the Hosts Restricted Only to This Port group. The first of the two fields in this
group defines the IP address of the workstation to be restricted. To add a new restriction, enter a
valid IP address of a workstation in this field, and click Add. The new entry will appear in the list of
restrictions below. This group is not applicable to WAN 1, and is therefore inactive (grayed out) when
the WAN 1 tab is selected.
