If a security feature that uses the IP or IPX protocol has already been configured, you will not be allowed to disable the protocol. Perle 833IS User Guide Chapter 7: Configuring the Protocols...
Page 108: Configuring Ip Protocol
Each client dialing in requires a unique IP address. The 833IS supports multiple methods for defining and supplying IP addresses to clients. For the 833IS router to be able to route IP packets, it has to know how to reach the destination. The 833IS supports the following methods: RIPV1 and RIPV2.
Page 109 (such as NetBEUI over IP) are not supported. If a router dials in to the WAN, the 833IS can route traffic from the dial in router to the LAN. This feature is referred to as "LAN-to-LAN". Note that it is not possible to route from this dial in router to a client or router on the Internal WAN network.
Page 110: Wan
The IP Protocol - WAN screen is as follows: WAN Network Clients dialing in to the 833IS must be assigned IP addresses on an Internal WAN Address Network. This section defines the Internal WAN Network used by the 833IS and should be completed after consulting with your IP Network Administrator.
Page 111 To set the WAN Network Address, the following fields must be defined: IP Address Enter the IP address that will be used by the 833IS on the Internal WAN Network for its router port. Be careful to ensure that this address does not conflict with any dial- in client IP addresses.
Page 112: Wan Ip Addresses
Configuring IP Protocol WAN IP Addresses Clients dialing in to the 833IS using the IP protocol need their own IP address. All clients are assigned IP addresses on the Internal WAN Network that has a subnet address distinct from the subnet address of the 833IS LAN port segment. The 833IS will route packets between the LAN port segment and the Internal WAN Network.
Page 113 ...there will be no IP address assigned and the connection will not be established. DHCP By default, the 833IS will look for all DHCP servers on the network. If you wish to configure the addresses of the DHCP servers or change the lease parameters, click on the DHCP button.
Page 114: Dhcp
This is referred to as an address lease. If DHCP is enabled, the 833IS will give the dial in client an IP address that was leased from the DHCP server. When the 833IS leases an address from the DHCP server, it specifies the length of time of the lease.
Page 115: Ip Pool
Remove. Lease Duration This field specifies the length of time that the DHCP server will allow the 833IS to use the leased IP address on behalf of the client. The range is 1 to 65535 minutes. Longer lease times will increase the chances that the client can reconnect to the 833IS and get the same IP address.

Page 145: Configuring Ppp
It is recommended that you do not change these values during the initial installation of the 833IS. When a client dials in to the 833IS, the PPP stacks on each side attempt to negotiate a common set of operating parameters. Modern clients can typically handle a wide range of operating parameters and will successfully negotiate with the 833IS.
Page 146 The dial in client you are using does not support the negotiation of Multilink PPP. On connect, the 833IS will check with the client to see if it wishes to use Multilink PPP. Some clients (for example, MacPPP) do not support this negotiation and will fail to connect.
Page 147: Apple Ppp
Recent versions of this client also supports PPP transport of AppleTalk, known as MacIP. MacIP is not supported by the 833IS. On connect, the 833IS will check with a dial in client to see if it wants to use Multilink PPP.
Page 148: Using Appletalk
The Perle 833IS has built-in support for the AppleTalk networking protocol and no special configuration is required. This allows an Apple Remote Access (ARA) client running on a Macintosh to dial in to the 833IS and access the AppleTalk network. AppleTalk is supported on both Ethernet and Token Ring connected Perle 833ISs.
Page 149: Using Netbeui
This permits clients such as the Windows 95 and Windows NT Dial up Networking clients to be used in a NetBIOS environment. NetBEUI requires that the client dialing into the 833IS emulate a LAN adapter. The 833IS supplies a MAC address from an address pool for this emulated LAN adapter.

833IS. For example, access to the program storage on flash on a Cisco router is handled like a disk drive. The firmware and configuration storage on the flash on the 833IS can also be accessed like a disk drive through various Cisco commands.
Page 302: Overview Of 833Is
The configuration can then be customized and updated using Cisco Configuration Mode. Regardless of the method with which you configure the 833IS unit, you can view the statistics and current status of the 833IS via Telnet. Using standard Cisco commands and/or a Syslog server, events occurring on the 833IS can be monitored and analyzed.
Page 303 The flash volume is a Read/Write flash memory where versions of firmware or configuration files for the 833IS can be stored. The 833IS can be updated by downloading a new release firmware image to the flash volume using the 833IS Manager or TFTP.

“startup-config” file. The 833IS can hold up to two Feature cards. The card in Slot 1 is called the System card and the card in Slot 2 is called the Expansion card. The system card is the main processing card and must be present in the 833IS in Slot 1 but the Expansion card is optional.
Page 305 Instead of initial configuration being performed over a direct serial connection, the 833IS configures IP parameters through the front panel of the unit. The 833IS is able to configure the IP Address, gateway, subnet mask and LAN speed from the front panel enabling connections to be established across the LAN (Ethernet or Token Ring).
Page 306 IP addresses to clients. If a router dials in to the WAN, the 833IS can route traffic from the dial in router to the LAN. This feature is referred to as "LAN-to-LAN". Note that it is not possible to route from this dial in router to a client or router on the Internal WAN network.
Page 307: Command Overview
The Cisco command set does not accommodate all the configuration and management features for the 833IS. Therefore, Perle commands have been developed to modify these features on the 833IS unit which are not present in a Cisco environment.

Page 311 This configuration takes affect immediately and does not require an IPL of the 833IS. At this time you can connect to the 833IS through a Telnet session on your PC. The front panel of the unit can be used to verify that communications between the PC and the server are operational.

Telnet interface. The 833IS can also send Event Log messages in real time to up to 4 Syslog servers concurrently. These Syslog servers can be attached to either the LAN or the WAN interfaces.
Page 313 However, these command actions have no validity mechanism to ensure a logical configuration is operating and not causing any disruption to the online session.
