The following fields are important:
Monitor DCD: With this flag set to Yes , IOLAN+ will monitor
Data Carrier Detect (DCD) - pin 8 - from the
modem. As soon as your modem answers a call
and establishes a carrier signal, the modem raises
DCD. The terminal server will then establish a
telnet/rlogin connection to a specified host.
When the modem hangs up, DCD goes low and
the terminal server port resets. This will also
drop the connection to the host.
TERM: This field is the TERM environment variable.
Whatever you type in here will be passed to the
host as the TERM variable when a telnet
connection is established and the user logs in.
Flow Ctrl: The modem and terminal server port should be
configured to use Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow
control. This will be especially important if you
are using SLIP.
Dst: This field contains the IP address the dial-in user
will borrow for the PPP session. If you are using
a straight forward dial-in connection for Unix,
this is not required.
Mask: If using PPP, SLIP or CSLIP, this is the subnet
mask that controls the range of IP addresses
accessible from the port and must correspond
with your network. (If used for terminals, this is
not needed.)
Secure: This field is set to Yes to force the call-in user to
use the Dst IP address. (su is not available in
this mode.) If the Secure flag is set, the dial-in
user will not be able to obtain administrative
priveleges. This also applies to local terminals.
