Configuration Steps for an Office-to-Office Connection
The example in this chapter uses the PCMCIA asynchronous modem port on the OR-M.

page 15-15.
Configuration Steps for an Office-to-Office Connection
The example described in this chapter connects a PortMaster router located in a branch
office (London) with a PortMaster router located in the main office (Paris) using a
dial-on-demand modem configuration.
To install your PortMaster, follow the instructions in your hardware installation guide. If
you need additional help, refer to the troubleshooting chapter of the installation guide.
Once you have assigned an IP address to the PortMaster, continue with the steps. The
following values shown in this chapter apply only to this example; when you are
configuring your PortMaster, use values appropriate for your network.
1. Configure the following settings for the PortMaster PCMCIA Office Router
in the London office:
a. Global settings (page 15-4).
b. Ethernet interface settings (page 15-4).
c. PCMCIA serial port settings (page 15-5).
d. Dial-in users (page 15-6).
e. Dial-out locations (page 15-7).
2. Configure the following settings for the PortMaster in the Paris office:
a. Ethernet interface settings (page 15-8).
b. Dial-out port settings (page 15-9).
c. Dial-in users (page 15-10).
d. Dial-out locations (page 15-11).
3. Test the configuration (page 15-12).
4. If necessary, configure the console port for multiline load balancing (page
15-13).
Alternatively, you can configure a PortMaster Office Router for ISDN dial-on-demand
connections. See page 15-15 for instructions.
