Please note: The ECS0016 requires an external modem attached (via a

Configure Dial In PPP
To enable dial-in PPP access on the ECS0016 console/modem port:
Select the 1. System: Dial menu option and the port to be configured
(Serial DB9 Port or Internal Modem Port). The ECS0016 console/
modem serial port is set by default to 115200 baud, No parity, 8 data
bits and 1 stop bit, with software (XonXoff) flow control enabled. When
enabling OoB dial-in on ECS0016 units, it is recommended that this be
changed to 38,4000 baud with Hardware Flow Control.
Select the 2. Baud Rate and Flow Control that will communicate with
the modem. You can further configure the console/modem port (e.g. to
include modem init strings) by editing /etc/mgetty.config files.
Check the3. Enable Dial In Access box.
Enter the 4. User name and Password to be used for the dial-in PPP
link.
In the 5. Remote Address field, enter the IP address to be assigned to
the dial-in client. You can select any address for the Remote IP
Address, however it and the Local IP Address, must both be in the
same network range (e.g. 200.100.1.12 - 200.100.1.67)
In the Local Address field enter the IP address for the Dial-In PPP
Server. This is the IP address that will be used by the remote client to
access ECS0016, once the modem connection is established. Any
address within the IP range of the Remote IP Address can be used
(e.g. 200.100.1.12 - 200.100.1.67) addresses must be in the same
network range as the Remote IP Address.
The • Default Route option enables the dialed PPP connection to
become the default route for the ECS0016 gateway.
The • Custom Modem Initialization option allows a custom AT string
modem initialization string to be entered (e.g. AT&C1&D3&K3)
