9: Device Ports Check Dial Tone Dial-back Number Dial-back Delay Dial-back Retries Access List If enabled, the SLC will periodically check the modem for a dial tone while waiting for a dial in (e.g., if the Modem State is set to Dial-in, or if the Modem State is set to Dial-back and the SLC unit is in the Dial-in portion of the sequence). The SLC unit can issue a trap or an event can be setup to notify the user if no dial tone is detected. Enabled by default (every 15 minutes). Users with Dial-back can dial into the SLC unit and enter their login and password. Once the SLC unit authenticates them, the modem hangs up and dials them back . Select the phone number the modem dials back on: a fixed number or a number associated with their login. If you select Fixed Number, enter the number (in the format 2123456789). The dial-back number is also used for CBCP client as the number for a userdefined number. See CBCP Server and CBCP Client for more information. For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of seconds between the dial-in and dial-out portions of the dialing sequence. For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of times the SLC unit will retry the dial-out portion of the dialing sequence if the first attempt to dial-out fails. For the dial-in state, a modem access list (or white list) that defines which phone numbers will be granted access to the console manager. See Access Lists on page 252 for more information. Text Mode Timeout Logins If you selected text mode, you can enable logins to time out after the connection is inactive for a specified number of minutes. The default is No. This setting only applies to text mode connections. PPP mode connections stay connected until either side drops the connection. Disabled by default. PPP Mode Negotiate IP Address Authentication CHAP Handshake CHAP Auth Uses Enable NAT If the SLC and/or the serial device have dynamic IP addresses (e.g., IP addresses assigned by a DHCP server), select Yes. This is the default. If the SLC unit or the modem have fixed IP addresses, select No, and enter the Local IP (IP address of the internal modem) and Remote IP (IP address of the modem). Enables PAP or CHAP authentication for modem logins. PAP is the default. With PAP, users are authenticated by means of the Local Users and any of the remote authentication methods that are enabled. With CHAP, the CHAP Handshake fields authenticate the user. The Host/User Name (for UNIX systems) or Secret/User Password (for Windows systems) used for CHAP authentication. May have up to 128 characters. For CHAP authentication, determines what is used to validate the CHAP host/ user sent by the remote peer: either the CHAP Host defined for the modem, or any of the users in the Local Users list. Select to enable Network Address Translation (NAT) for dial-in and dial-out PPP connections on a per modem (device port, USB port, or internal modem) basis. Users dialing into the SLC unit access the network connected to Eth1 and/or Eth2. Note: IP forwarding must be enabled on the Network Settings (on page 58) for NAT to work.

Text Mode
PPP Mode
Check Dial Tone
If enabled, the SLC will periodically check the modem for a dial tone while
waiting for a dial in (e.g., if the Modem State is set to Dial-in, or if the Modem
State is set to Dial-back and the SLC unit is in the Dial-in portion of the
sequence). The SLC unit can issue a trap or an event can be setup to notify the
user if no dial tone is detected. Enabled by default (every 15 minutes).
Dial-back Number
Users with
Dial-back
can dial into the SLC unit and enter their login and
password. Once the SLC unit authenticates them, the modem hangs up and
dials them back .
Select the phone number the modem dials back on: a fixed number or a
number associated with their login. If you select
Fixed Number
, enter the
number (in the format 2123456789).
The dial-back number is also used for CBCP client as the number for a user-
defined number. See
CBCP Server and CBCP Client
for more information.
Dial-back Delay
For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of seconds between the dial-in
and dial-out portions of the dialing sequence.
Dial-back Retries
For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of times the SLC unit will retry the
dial-out portion of the dialing sequence if the first attempt to dial-out fails.
Access List
For the dial-in state, a modem access list (or white list) that defines which
phone numbers will be granted access to the console manager. See
Access
Lists on page 252
for more information.
Timeout Logins
If you selected text mode, you can enable logins to time out after the
connection is inactive for a specified number of minutes. The default is
No
.
This setting only applies to text mode connections. PPP mode connections
stay connected until either side drops the connection. Disabled by default.
Negotiate IP Address
If the SLC and/or the serial device have dynamic IP addresses (e.g., IP
addresses assigned by a DHCP server), select
Yes
. This is the default.
If the SLC unit or the modem have fixed IP addresses, select
No
, and enter the
Local IP
(IP address of the internal modem) and
Remote IP
(IP address of the
modem).
Authentication
Enables
PAP
or
CHAP
authentication for modem logins.
PAP
is the default.
With
PAP
, users are authenticated by means of the Local Users and any of the
remote authentication methods that are enabled.
With
CHAP
, the
CHAP Handshake
fields authenticate the user.
CHAP Handshake
The
Host/User Name
(for UNIX systems) or
Secret/User Password
(for Windows systems) used for CHAP authentication.
May have up to 128 characters.
CHAP Auth Uses
For CHAP authentication, determines what is used to validate the
CHAP
host/
user sent by the remote peer: either the
CHAP Host
defined for the modem, or
any of the users in the
Local Users
list.
Enable NAT
Select to enable Network Address Translation (NAT) for dial-in and dial-out
PPP connections on a per modem (device port, USB port, or internal modem)
basis. Users dialing into the SLC unit access the network connected to Eth1
and/or Eth2.
Note:
IP forwarding must be enabled on the
Network Settings (on page 58)
for
NAT to work.
