5.1.1 Configure Dial-In PPP
To enable dial-in PPP access on the modem:
Select the
System: Dial
menu option and the port to be configured (
Serial DB9 Port
or
Internal
Modem Port
).
Note
The
console server
console/modem serial port is set by default to 115200 baud, No parity, 8 data
bits and 1 stop bit, with software (Xon-Xoff) flow control enabled for the Serial DB9 Port and 9600
baud for the Internal modem and PC Card Ports. When enabling OoB dial-in, we recommend that
this be changed to 38,4000 baud with Hardware Flow Control
.
Select the
Baud Rate
and
Flow Control
that will communicate with the modem.
Note
You can further configure the console/modem port (
for example,
to include
modem init
strings) by
editing
/etc/mgetty.config
files as described in the
Chapter 15
—Advanced Configuration
.
Check the
Enable Dial-In Access
box.
Enter the
User name
and
Password
to be used for the dial-in PPP link.
In the
Remote Address
field, enter the IP address to be assigned to the dial-in client. You can
select any address for the Remote IP Address. It, and the Local IP Address, must both be in the
same network range (
e.g.
200.100.1.12 and 200.100.1.67).
In the
Local Address
field, enter the IP address for the Dial-In PPP Server. This is the IP address
that will be used by the remote client to access
console server
once the modem connection is
established. You can select any address for the Local IP Address but it must be in the same
network range as the Remote IP Address.
The
Default Route
option enables the
dialed PPP connection to become the default route for
the
Console server
.
The
Custom Modem Initialization
option allows you to enter a custom AT string modem
initialization string (
for example,
AT&C1&D3&K3).
