Configuration Steps for an Internet Connection
16-8 PortMaster Configuration Guide
Note – Configuring the maximum ports setting to a value higher than 0 causes the
PortMaster to dial out to a continuous location, or become available for dial-out to an
on-demand location. By configuring the maximum ports setting last, you ensure that
the PortMaster will not attempt to make a connection with a location until you have
configured all the settings for that location.
You can also authenticate using CHAP if it is supported by the ISP.
After configuring the location table settings, enter the following command to save the
configuration:
Command> save all
For more information about configuring locations, see Chapter 8, “Configuring Dial-Out
Connections.”

To test the configuration, follow these steps:
1. Enter the following commands to connect from your office to location
isp1
:
Command> set console
Command> set debug 0x51 -x
Command> dial isp1
2. Monitor the dial-and-connect sequence between the two locations.
3. If everything connects as expected, reset the port, turn off debugging, and
change the location type to continuous.
