Configure dial-in PPP

To enable dial-in PPP access on the Console Server modem port/ internal modem:
• Select the System: Dial menu option and the port to be configured (Serial DB9 Port or Internal Modem Port)
Note: The Console Server's console/modem serial port is set by default to 115200 baud, No parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit,
with software (Xon-Xoff) flow control enabled. You can modify the baud rate and flow control using the Management Console.
You can further configure the console/modem port settings by editing /etc/mgetty.config files as described in Chapter 14.
• Select the Baud Rate and Flow Control that will communicate with the modem
• Check the Enable Dial-In Access box
• Enter the User name and Password to be used for the dial-in PPP link
• In the Remote Address field, enter the IP address to be assigned to the dial-in client. You can select any address for the
Remote IP Address. However, it and the Local IP Address must both be in the same network range (e.g. 200.100.1.12
and 200.100.1.67)
• In the Local Address field, enter the IP address for the Dial-In PPP Server. This is the IP address that will be used by the
remote client to access Console Server once the modem connection is established. Again, you can select any address for
the Local IP Address but both must be in the same network range as the Remote IP Address
• The Default Route option enables the dialed PPP connection to become the default route for the Console Server
• The Custom Modem Initialization option allows a custom AT string modem initialization string to be entered (e.g.
AT&C1&D3&K3)
• Then select the Authentication Type to be applied to the dial-in connection. The Console Server uses authentication to
challenge Administrators who dial-in to the Console Server. (For dial-in access, the username and password received from
the dial-in client are verified against the local authentication database stored on the Console Server). The Administrator
must also have their client computer configured to use the selected authentication scheme. Select PAP CHAP
MSCHAPv2 or None and click Apply
