Chapter 7 Configuring PPP 31

Configuring Outbound PPP Connections: Command Line

This section describes how to configure outbound PPP connections. Use it

to configure outbound only connections or to configure the outbound

portion of bidirectional connections.

Note: CHAP authentication works between two Digi devices. CHAP will be negoti-

ated to PAP for all other connections

Procedure

1. To configure the port for a modem, enter the following command:

set ports range=range dev=device

where range is the port or ports and device is one of the following:

• mout for outbound only modem connections

• mio for bidirectional modem connections.

See the set ports command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command

Reference for more information.

Example: set ports range=3 device=mout

2. To configure flow control for the ports, enter the following command:

set flow range=range flow-control=scheme

where range is the port or ports and flow-control=scheme is the flow control

required for this connection. Typically, for modem connections RTS and

CTS are on.

Example:

set flow range=3 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on

See the set flow command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command

Reference for more information.

3. To configure baud rate for this connection to the modem, enter the fol-

lowing command:

set line range=range baud=bps

where range is the port or ports to configure and bps is the line speed in

bits-per-second. Typically, you can set this to 115000 bps for modem

connections.

Example:

set line range=3 baud=115000

4. If you do not want to use the Digi-supplied dialer script (genmdm) and

script command to create your own scripts.

See the set script command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command

Reference for more information.

5. If you do not want to use the Digi-supplied outbound device (gendialer),

which works for most applications, enter the following command:

set device name=name ports=ports dialer=name

where

• name=name is the name for this device

• ports are the ports to associate with this device
