Negotiated IP
IP address associated with the GPRS connection.
Text Mode
Timeout
Logins
If you selected Text mode, you can enable logins to time
out after the connection is inactive for a specified number
of minutes. The default is No. This setting only applies to
text mode connections. PPP mode connections stay
connected until either side drops the connection. Disabled
by default.
Dial-back Number
Users with dial-back access can dial into the SLB branch
office manager and enter their login and password. Once
the SLB device authenticates them, the modem hangs up
and dials them back.
Select the phone number the modem dials back on--a
fixed number or a number associated with their login. If
you select Fixed Number, enter the number (in the format
2123456789).
Dial-in Host List
From the drop-down list, select the desired host list. The
host list is
a prioritized list of SSH, Telnet and TCP
hosts that are available for establishing outgoing
modem connections. The hosts in the list are cycled
through until the modem successfully connects to
one.
To establish and configure host lists, click the Host Lists
link. (See Host Lists on page 108.)
PPP Mode
Negotiate IP
Address
If the SLB branch office manager and/or the serial device
have dynamic IP addresses (e.g., IP addresses assigned
by a DHCP server), select Yes. This is the default.
If the SLB device or the modem have fixed IP addresses,
select No, and enter the Local IP (IP address of the port)
and Remote IP (IP address of the modem).
Authentication Enables PAP or CHAP authentication for modem logins.
PAP is the default. With PAP, users are authenticated by
means of the Local Users and any of the remote
authentication methods that are enabled. With CHAP, the
CHAP Handshake fields authenticate the user.
CHAP Handshake
The host/username (for UNIX systems) or secret/user
password (for Windows systems) used for CHAP
authentication. May have up to 128 characters.
Same
authentication for
Dial-in & Dial-on-
Demand (DOD)
Select this option to let incoming connections (dial-in) use
the same authentication settings as outgoing connections
(dial-on-demand). If this option is not selected, then the
dial-on-demand connections take their authentication
settings from the DOD parameter settings. If DOD
Authentication is PAP, then the DOD CHAP Handshake
field is not used.
