• Set the speed parameter to the DTE speed of the modem on the serial port.
• To configure the port for hardware (EIA) flow control and modem signals, set the
control_lines parameter to both and the input_flow_control and the output_flow_control
parameters to eia. If you do this, you must set the ppp_acm parameter to 0x000a0000.
• To configure the port for software (XON/XOFF) flow control, set the control_lines parameter
to none and the input_flow_control and the output_flow_control parameters to start/stop.
• Set the local_address parameter to the Model 5390 server's en0 address.
• Set the remote_address parameter to the IP address of the remote node on the same network
(132.254.5.18).
• Set the dialup_addresses parameter to N.
• Leave the ppp_acm and ppp_mru parameters set to their defaults.
After setting the parameters, dial into the port. Your client should then begin LCP negotiation.
Configurations for Dial-out
Dial-out PPP allows system administrators to define a database of information about a modem pool
and a set of virtual dial-out routes. The Model 5390 server assigns each virtual dial-out route
dynamically to ports in that pool. Each virtual dial-out route must be configured within the Model
5390 configuration file to start the PPP line (for more details, see Dial-out Routes on page A14-42).
Dial-out PPP also provides:
• On-demand dialing by logically tying the phone number to the virtual route.
• Dial-on-demand network routing by having the Model 5390 dial-out routes configured with
the proper static network routes (thus, the Model 5390 server can route traffic to a particular
network through a dial-out route's destination).
893-741-B
NOTE: Dial-out routes are defined in the Model 5390 configuration
file. Setting Up the Configuration File on page A14-5 provides a sample
configuration file; Creating dialout Entries in the Configuration File on
page A14-37 describes how to create dialout entries in the configura-
tion file. Dial-out PPP applies only to IP framing protocols; it does not
apply to other protocols (for example, ARAP, IPX, etc.).
