32 Chapter 7 Configuring PPP
• dialer=name is the name of a dialer script, either the Digi-supplied
script or a user-created one
6. To create a PPP user, enter the following command:
set user name=name protocol=ppp
where name is the name of the PPP user
Example
set user name=pppout protocol=ppp
7. To configure this user for outbound connections, enter the following
command:
set user name=name outgoing=on device=device
where device is either the Digi-supplied device or the outbound device
created earlier in this procedure
Example:
set user name=pppout outgoing=on device=gendialer
8. To configure an IP address for the local end of the PPP connection,
enter the following command:
set user name=name localipaddr=ip-address
where name is the user’s name and ip-address is one of the following:
• 0.0.0.0. , which means that the user will request an IP address from
the remote server.
• A specific IP address, which means that the Digi device will attempt
to use this IP address. The remote server must agree to this
request.
Example:
set user name=pppout localipadr=0.0.0.0
9. To configure a telephone number to dial to reach the outbound user,
enter the following command:
set user name=name n1=telephone-number
where name is the user’s name and telephone-number is the number to
dial to reach the user. You can enter this number as digits only, with
dashes (-) separating digits, or with commas.
Example:
set user name=pppout n1=4452624
Example
This example shows a very simple outbound PPP configuration. Here are
some points on this configuration:
• The port is set up for outbound connections (dev=mout).
• Flow control is set to Hardware.
• Default device and scripts are used
set ports range=3 device=mout
set flow range=3 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on
