Setting The Telephone Number; Setting The Username And Password; Setting The Protocol - Lucent Technologies PortMaster 4 Configuration Manual

Configuring the Location Table
To configure a location to support a automatic connection, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname automatic
Manual Dial-Out
Use manual dial-out to test the connection or if you want the connection to be
established only when you or a network callback user requests. You should test any
connection before configuring it as a continuous or on-demand location.
To configure a location to support a manual connection, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname manual
Note – Disconnect dial-out connections by resetting the port before switching a
connection type from manual to on demand.

Setting the Telephone Number

The telephone number setting is used to dial out to the remote location.
To set the telephone number of the remote location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname telephone String

Setting the Username and Password

The username and password are what the PortMaster uses to authenticate itself to the
remote host. Note that the username and password you enter here must also be resident
on the remote host in the user table, RADIUS, or other authentication mechanism.
To set the username and password, use the following commands:
Command> set location Locname username Username
Command> set location Locname password Password

Setting the Protocol

The network protocol for a dial-out location is typically set for PPP packet encapsulation,
SLIP encapsulation, or X.75-sync (used in Europe). PPP can be used with IP packet
routing, IPX packet routing, or both. Select a protocol that is compatible with the
remote location.
Note – New location table entries default to PPP.
To set the protocol for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname protocol slip|ppp|x75-sync
For more information about setting the location protocol to a Frame Relay subinterface,
see "Frame Relay Subinterfaces" on page 12-8.
