Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX

broadcast_direction

This asynchronous port parameter defines the direction in which an
administrative broadcast message is sent on a port. The options are
network or port; the default is port. This parameter is valid only for a
slave port (defined by the mode parameter).
If you specify network, the RA 6300 sends administrative broadcast
messages out the network side of the connection to the initiator. If you
specify port, the RA 6300 sends broadcast messages out the port side of
the connection.

buildout

This PRI line parameter is applicable only to RA 6300s with internal
CSUs. It is a string defining the CSU transceiver line provided by the
telephone company. Valid values are: 0db, 7.5db, 15db, 22.5db. The
default is 0db.

chap_auth_name

This Annex parameter defines the character string that is used as the Name
field entry when issuing a CHAP challenge over a PPP link. The minimum
string length is one character and the maximum string length is 16
characters; the default is chap.
Change the default value:
• If you want the remote end of the PPP link to pick a secret
token that depends on the received name.
• If you want to achieve the highest level of security.
