Configuring Workstations for Telnet Dial-Out

You must install a TCP/IP stack and Telnet client software on workstations that will dial

out from the AWAN access server. Workstation users also will need the appropriate

terminal emulator or telecommunications software, depending on the types of

connections they will make. Finally, you must provide Telnet users with the following

information:

•

The IP address of the AWAN access server

•

The TCP port number for the Telnet service on the AWAN access server

For example, to reach a dial-out port from a Windows 95 or NT workstation, a user

would type the following command from a DOS box:

ip-address

is the IP address of the AWAN access server.

tcp-port-number

is the TCP port number that was assigned to the modem port module port or

asynchronous port where the external modem is connected when the Telnet service

was configured (see Setting Up a Telnet Service on page 11-4).

The user can then issue AT commands to direct the modem to dial out.
