Out-of-Band Initialization Strings

CHAPTER 7
This chapter provides a reference list of PPP and modem initialization strings used to
configure out-of-band (OOB) management.

PPP initialization strings

These are the strings and syntaxes available for use when configuring a Firebox for
out-of-band management in Policy Manager:
asyncmap <map>
Set the async character map to <map>. This map describes which control
characters cannot be successfully received over the serial line. Pppd will ask
the peer to send these characters as a 2-byte escape sequence. The argument is
a 32-bit hex number with each bit representing a character to escape. Bit 0
(00000001) represents the character 0x00; bit 31 (80000000) represents the
character 0x1f or ^_. If multiple asyncmap options are given, the values are
ORed together. If no asyncmap option is given, no async character map will
be negotiated for the receive direction; the peer should then escape all control
characters. To escape transmitted characters, use the escape option.
escape xx,yy,..
Specifies that certain characters should be escaped on transmission
(regardless of whether the peer requests them to be escaped with its async
control character map). The characters to be escaped are specified as a list of
hex numbers separated by commas. Note: Almost any character can be
specified for the escape option, unlike the asyncmap option which only allows
control characters to be specified. The characters which may not be escaped
are those with hex values 0x20 — 0x3f or 0x5e.
