Black Box Console Server user guide 122
Accessing devices via modems using PPP
For this method you will need to setup one of the serial ports for PPP (see
Configuring a dial in line on page 74 in Chapter 3 System administration).
With a line configured for PPP you will be able to dial in for a PC using Microsoft's
dial up networking.
A remote user will dial up by using dial up networking and once authenticated by the
Console Server will be connected to the network. At this point a telnet session can be
initiated as in the Accessing devices via Telnet from the LAN on page 117.
Note Even in the event of a main network failure a user will still be able to connect to the
Console Server and access a port.
