Configuring the Port for the Login Method
You can configure a port to log in to a local user interface prompt or to be exclusively
dedicated to PPP. To configure a port for login to a local user interface prompt, refer
to the Configuring the Port for Login to the Local Prompt section in this chapter. To
configure a port to be exclusively dedicated to PPP, refer to the Configuring the Port
Dedicated to PPP section in this chapter.
Configuring the Port for Login to the Local Prompt
Following modem connection, the PC user will log in to the local interface with or
without password authentication. Then, the user will have the option to activate PPP
using user interface commands.

commands:
Local> CHANGE SERVER LOGIN PASSWORD
