USRobotics NETServer/8 - Manual (Page 213)

Command Reference 10-63
Protocol
Default is SLIP. This is the protocol the NETServer should use to
encapsulate packets bound for the user.
set user <user name> protocol < ppp | slip>
IPX connections require the PPP protocol.
PPP Async Map
The PPP protocol supports the escaping of non-printing ASCII
characters. Escaping means that specific characters won’t be
sent, but will be replaced by a special set of characters. The
remote site then interprets this special set of characters as the
original characters.
The PPP Async Map is a bit-map of the 32ASCII control charac-
ters (the first 32 characters of the ASCII character set), repre-
sented as 8 hexadecimal digits. The order is big endian, which
means that the last bit of the last character corresponds to the
first ASCII character (Null) and so on.
set user <user name> map <value>
For example, to escape the ASCII null character to a user named
Ted_S, the command would be
set user Ted_S map 00000001
The default is 00000000 (do not escape any characters). We
recommend that you do not change this field unless specifically
required by your network.
Netmask
This is the network user’s IP subnet mask. The default is
255.255.255.0, which would be appropriate for a Class C net-
work with no subnetting or for Class C size subnets of larger
networks. You must change this value if the user has a different
subnet mask. Use the following command:
set user <user name> netmask <value>
