Dialup parameters for each dialing entry are entered using the Dialup Property dialog box.
Figure 27 Dialup Property
Use the following guidelines:
• Dialup Description - Enter the descriptive name that will appear in the Dialup
Manager list of entries.
• Phone Prefix Number - Enter the phone number to be dialed.
• Dialing Port - Select the port through which this connection is to be made. The default
is COM 1. For information on serial port configuration, refer to "Configuring Serial
Communications."
• Login Username, Password, and Domain - Enter the login name, password, and
domain required for this connection. This information is used for logging in to the PPP
session.
• Login Script area - This feature provides a facility for logging in to systems which do
not dedicate modem ports to the PPP protocol and require a serial login before
initiating the PPP protocol (typically *NIX systems). It provides for automation of
responses that otherwise must be entered manually in response to messages received
from the dialed server and displayed in the message box of the Dialup Status dialog
box. The specific scripts are unique to each target system. Using the escape codes
listed under the box, as needed, create the script as Expected String <space> Output
String pairs. Place quotation marks around strings that have spaces in them. The
required strings can be tested by entering them manually in the dialup progress dialog
box.
Note
Ask your network administrator for specific script requirements.
• Interface login to the dialup server - This option is an alternative to providing a login
script. Enable (select) the interactive login feature only if the dialed server requires it.
The dialup status dialog box (which opens when the connection is dialed) will display
prompts from the dialed machine. Type the appropriate responses directly in the status
display area.
