The terminal server allows a user to establish a PPP connection to the
internal modem. This connection allows a Telnet session to either the
terminal server or another device on the network attached to the
terminal server. In the latter case the terminal server acts as a dial-up
security server.
When a remote user attempts to access other network devices via a
PPP session, those devices must know how to direct their responses
back to the user. The simplest way to accomplish this is with a router
that supports RIP, the standard Router Information Protocol. The
strategy is to make the devices on the network direct their responses to
the router, and then have the router forward the data to the terminal
server. To do this, ensure that a RIP-enabled router is on the network,
and configure the other devices to use it as their default gateway. The
terminal server will automatically use RIP to tell the router how to
forward data addressed to the remote user when a PPP link is
established.
NOTE: The network number (the first set of numbers) for the PPP
connection in the terminal server should be different than the
network number used for the network IP address. If the network
address of the terminal server is 193.1.1.1 then the PPP address
should not begin with 193.
