Network
The Network field determines if the port permits PPP or SLIP
connections. You may also enable User Login and Host Device
(unless Network is set to Hardwired). The default is Dial In.
Use the following command:
set
s<port #>
network <
dialin
|
dialout
|
twoway
|
hardwired
>
Dial In Remote users may dial in to the NETServer and
establish a PPP or SLIP connection with the local
network. Remote networks dialing into the
NETServer in order to route IP and IPX packets
onto the local network also use ports configured
this way. See Dial In Port Parameters, later in this
section, for information on other settings that
affect network dial in ports.
Dial Out The NETServer uses network dial out ports to
establish dial out SLIP or PPP connections during
LAN-to-LAN routing. Network dial out ports are
also used for dialback network users. You must
assign dial out ports to a dial group (see below)
Twoway A network twoway port supports both network
dialin and network dialout.
Hardwired Requires that User Login and Host Device be
disabled. This setting tells the NETServer’s
operating software that the port is connected
directly to another device via a serial cable. No
dialing or authentication is required. Since all the
internal serial ports are already connected to
modems, S0 is the only port that can use the
hardwired setting. See Hardwired Port Parameters
for more information.
Dial Group
Network dial out and twoway ports must be assigned to a dial
group. A dial group is a pool of modems that can be assigned to
one or more particular locations. Use the following command:
set s<port #> group <group #>
The default <group #> is 0. Dial groups can have any number
between 0 and 99.
