3.
If you want to delete the currently selected interface, move to the
De-
lete
field and press Enter. You are asked if you really want to delete
the interface. If you type
y
, the interface is deleted and you return to
the Dial-up LAN-to-LAN screen, where you can create or choose
another interface.
4.
In the
Framing type
field, select either
SLIP
or
PPP
for the framing
type you want to use for the connection. The remote connection
must
use the same framing type.
SLIP
and
PPP
are both ways of encapsulating packets of information
so the packets can be sent over a serial line. Note that if you select
SLIP
, you can route only IP packets over this connection, so if you
want to route AppleTalk or IPX packets, you need to select
PPP
.
Also, if you want to use this interface only for a dial backup or for
ISDN, you can only use PPP framing.
5.
In the
Password
field, type the password used by the remote site to
authenticate your dial-up connection to that NetBlazer. You must
confirm your password by typing it a second time.
If you are using PAP authentication (which is on by default for
inbound calls), this password needs to correspond to the PAP
“peer-passwd” sent from the remote end of the connection.
Note that if you change a password for an already created interface,
you need to make a corresponding change to the password at the
other end of the connection. Note also that adding or changing the
password for a dial-up connection also changes the password in the
dial-in user record of the same name.
6.
In the
Crypto key
field, type the crypto key used by the remote site
to authenticate a dial-up connection to the NetBlazer.
Note:
Setting either a password or a Crypto key is required. If you try to exit this
screen without setting one of these two fields, you get an error message and
are returned to this screen.
This field is case sensitive. You need to be very careful with case when
entering a password.
Also, to avoid problems with remote password files, your password should
not include any of the following characters: “
@
”,“
:
”, “
%
”, “
\
”, “
/
”, “
{
”,
“
}
”,
or any nonprinting characters.
