PPP MODE OPERATION
The SNAP can be configured to operate as a PPP (Point-Point Protocol) server. PPP is a dial-in
network connection that allows TCP/IP communication. A PPP connection allows a remote
connected to a computer to be connected to network that the SNAP is on using the TCP/IP
protocol. In order to operate the SNAP as a PPP server, the following sequence of commands
must be entered.
sys mode PPP<CR>
save<CR>
reset<CR>
After the post-reset self-test, the command line prompt will change to
PPP>.
If a telnet session is
being used to communicate with the SNAP, it will be necessary to close and reopen the session.
In addition to supporting DHCP and RADIUS servers, the SNAP will also allow the user to
specify the starting IP address for the remotes that logon. The first remote to logon will receive
the IP address specified below. The SNAP will then add one to the IP address for the next
remote to login. Alternatively, the SNAP supports static IP assignment based on username.
Details of the commands for these modes are in the section
PPP Commands
below.
Included in the appendix is a listing of a Windows modem definition file. This inf file will work
on Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP for a remote WIT2411 modem device connected to a serial
port. The WIT2411-based modem device needs to be added as a new modem using the standard
Windows procedures. When installed, Windows dial-up networking can be used to create a PPP
session between the remote PC and the SNAP. The PPP mode of the SNAP also works with
various versions of UNIX and LINUX. Contact Cirronet Technical Support for details.
