Domain Name
Server (DNS)
WINS Server
My IP Address is : 192.168.209.7
Your IP Address is : 192.168.209.210
The Subnet Mask is : 255.255.255.0
With this example, the Terminal Service is now in CSLIP mode,
so put your PC into CSLIP mode as well. Your dialer script will
have to parse out the My/Your addresses from the above
message. 'Your IP Address' will be the address of the PC that is
calling in, and 'My IP Address' can be the PC's default gateway.
The above procedure works for SLIP and PPP as well.
However, PPP will not display the 'My IP...' message because
the IP addresses are negotiated automatically in the IPCP layer.
With the Connection field on the Port Setup Menu set to
Dedicated , if you do not specify a P, S or C in front of the
user name, you will be authenticated and then connected to
the host. This will leave you at a shell prompt on the
Authentication host. A caller will never see the Terminal
Server. If Connection is set to None , you will be left at the
CLI prompt (i.e. local> ).
The Terminal Server can be configured to take advantage of
your network's Domain Name Server (DNS). This is
important for ISPs. From the Administration Menu select
server and key in the IP address of your DNS in the Name
server field. You could fill in the Domain name field as well.
If you have a local NT server running WINS and you want
dial-in clients to take advantage of that, put the IP address
of the NT server in the WINS server field of the Server
Configuration screen.
Note: The Windows
