Configuring a Port for Network Access
5-16 PortMaster Configuration Guide
When you configure a port for network dial-in, dial-out, or two-way access, the port
becomes available for connections to and from remote sites using modems and the
Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
To configure a port for network access, follow these steps:
1. Set the port to network and choose the access type.
Command> set S0 network dialin|dialout|twoway
2. Save the configuration.
Command> save all
Note – In any of these dial modes (dial-in, dial-out, and two-way) you can also
configure the port for other concurrent port types.
Network Dial-In-Only Access
Network dial-in-only access can be set on ports dedicated to answering requests from
mobile or home users. In this configuration, the selected port allows an authorized user
to connect to the network for mail, file, and other services through SLIP or PPP
encapsulation. Figure 5-4 shows how the PortMaster provides network connectivity for
remote users.
