Configuring the Location Table
8-10 PortMaster Configuration Guide
Setting the Idle Timer
You can set the idle timer for a location with manual or on-demand connections. This
timer defines the length of time the line can be idle, with no network traffic in either
direction, before the PortMaster disconnects the connection. You can set the idle time in
seconds or minutes, to any value from 0 to 240. The default setting is 0 minutes. If the
value is set to 2 seconds or a longer interval, the port is reset after having no traffic for
the designated time. The idle timer is not reset by RIP, keepalive, or SAP packets. To
disable the idle timer, set the value to 0.
Note – Idle timers for dial-in connections are set on each port or for specific users. Idle
timers for dial-out connections are set in the location table.
To set the idle time for a location with a manual or on-demand connection, use the
following command:
Command> set location Locname idletime Number [ minutes | seconds ]
Setting Data over Voice
The PortMaster supports data-over-voice for inbound and outbound ISDN connections.
The PortMaster automatically accepts inbound voice calls and treats them as data calls.
You can force a data-over-voice call on an outbound ISDN connection by setting the
capability to on.
To turn on the data-over-voice capability for ISDN connections to a location, use the
following command:
Command> set location Locname voice on|off
For more information on ISDN connections, see Chapter 11, “Configuring the
PortMaster 3,” and Chapter 12, “Using ISDN BRI.”
Setting CHAP
When you enter a username and password into the location table, they are used as the
system identifier and MD5 secret for CHAP authentication. You can turn on outbound
CHAP authentication and eliminate the need to use the sysname identifier and user
table configurations for CHAP, unless the device being dialed also dials in to the
PortMaster. The default setting is off.
