Configuring PPP mode
Users who are logged into the terminal server in terminal mode can invoke an asynchronous
PPP session by using the PPP command to initiate PPP mode. Or, even if users do not have
access to the command line, they can begin an asynchronous PPP session from an application
such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer. For example, if a user initiates a session
from Windows 95, which has a resident TCP/IP stack, the asynchronous PPP session can begin
immediately, without the user entering the terminal-server interface. The following parameters
in Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options configure PPP mode:
Parameter
PPP
PPP Delay
PPP Direct
PPP Info
Example of PPP configuration
The configuration in this example enables PPP direct mode. To implement the configuration:

Configuring Serial Line IP (SLIP) mode
If you enable SLIP mode in the terminal server, users can initiate a SLIP session and then run
an application, such as FTP, in that session. SLIP mode configuration uses the following
parameters in Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options:
Parameter
SLIP
4-88
Host #4 Addr=10.2.3.224
Host #4 Text=host4.abc.com
Dial-in users are able to Telnet to these hosts by selecting the hostname or IP address.
Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Specifies
The initiation of PPP sessions.
The number of seconds the terminal server waits before transitioning
to packet-mode processing.
Whether to start PPP negotiation immediately after a user enters the
PPP command in the terminal-server interface or to wait to receive a
PPP packet from an application. (Some applications expect to receive
a packet first.)
One of the three messages to inform users that they are in PPP mode.
The selections are None (no message), PPP Mode, and PPP Session.
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options profile.
Enable the use of the PPP command in terminal mode.
Enable PPP direct negotiation:
Ethernet
Mod Config
TServ Options
PPP=Yes
PPP Direct=Yes
Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Specifies
SLIP sessions.
