Introduction

You may configure the access server by using its internal HTTP/HTML Administration Pages. However, to enter into the HTTP/HTML pages, you must first define the LAN Address Technique, LAN IP Address, and LAN Subnet Mask for the access server. If you have not done so, please refer to the Getting Started Guide that came with your access server.

Logging into the HTTP/HTML Administration Pages

To log into the HTTP/HTML Administration pages, you must enter the 4-octet Internet Protocol (IP) (for example, http://your.server.ip.address) address as the Universal Resource Locator (URL) into a World-Wide Web (WWW) browser. After you enter the IP address, the access server will ask for your user name and password as shown in figure 1.
Figure 1. Access server login window
Your access server will accept the following default administrative passwords:
superuser—this password carries full permission to change and view any parameters in the access server
monitor—this password allows full viewing of any non-password oriented variables.
Note For security reasons, we recommend that you change these passwords
immediately after initial configuration.

HTTP/HTML and SNMP Object Format

In this document, we shall describe the variables found on each of the internal HTTP/HTML pages. This description will include brief definitions of the Patton Enterprise MIB or SNMP MIB II object identifiers wherever applicable. The format of the variables will resemble figure 2.
Figure 2. HTTP/HTML and SNMP object format

Saving HTTP/HTML Object Changes

Sometimes you will need to save changes that you have made in the HTTP/HTML pages. Do the following to make changes to read/write variables:
1. Select the appropriate
Modify screen.
2. Make changes to the desired parameter.
3. Click on the

2 • Home Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide

Introduction

This chapter describes the HOME window—the first Administration Page that you see after logging into the access server (see figure 3). From base, save any system changes, or reset the system without power-cycling the server.
Note Clicking on the HOME link in the Configuration Menu pane will
return you to the
The
HOME window is divided into two panes: the Configuration Menu pane and the configuration/information
pane (see figure 3). The
Configuration Menu contains the links to the various access server subsystems, while
the configuration/information pane is where you can view status and other information, or make changes to the system configuration. Unlike the Configuration Menu pane, which looks the same no matter which sub­system page you may move to, the configuration/information pane contents will change as you move from one subsystem page to another.
HOME, you can monitor current system status, modify the Static User data-
HOME page from any other page.

Operating Status Variables

There are seven system variables which describe the immediate operating status access server. These variables are shown in figure 4 and are described in the following sections.
Figure 4. STATUS menu

Active Calls (diActive)

This number, ranging from 0 to 60 displays the total number of calls being processed (connecting, dead, authenticating, and so on) in the access server at the time the HOME page was displayed.

Peak Active Calls (diMaxActive)

The maximum number of active calls seen at one time since the access server was powered on.

Percentage CPU Idle (boxIdleTime)

This is an indication of the amount of system CPU power which is not being utilized by the access server. The return value is a percentage of free CPU cycles since the last time the variable was read.

DSPs Not Working (dspFailed)

This number should always be zero. The DSP's in the access server are arranged as a resource pool and called upon at ring-time. Therefore, if a DSP does not work, chances are you'll never know, as the access server will automatically remove the faulty DSP from the resource pool. One symptom of a DSP failures is the access server isn't handling as many calls as it should. A DSP may be taken out of service if it fails to respond to the access server CPU. If a DSP isn’t available when a call comes in, the call will simply ring and not be answered.

Total DRAM Detected (boxDetectedMemory)

This number shows the total number of bits of installed and available DRAM.

Running Since Last Boot (sysUpTime)

This tells you how long the access server has been running since the it was last reset. It displays the number of hours and rolls over after 1,193 hours (497 days).
Operating Status Variables 35

Immediate Actions

There are several immediate actions (see figure 5) which, when in superuser mode, will cause the access server to operate according to the descriptions in the following sections.
Figure 5. Immediate Actions buttons
Record Current Configuration —clicking this button causes the current configuration to be stored in
FLASH memory. Any changes made to the access server configuration are stored in non-volatile RAM. This allows the user to set the box up with a running configuration before commiting it to FLASH. Configura­tion changes become permanent when you select Record Current Configuration. You will lose all changes not stored to FLASH the next time the access server is re-booted.
Hard Reset—this button causes the access server to perform a cold restart. When you select Hard Reset,
the access server confirm that you want to execute this command. Then, the access server will disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
Set Factory Default Configuration—this button clears out the configuration in FLASH and loads the
factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on the access server until it is re-booted.
Note Set Factory Default Configuration will delete any routing infor-
mation, the access server’s Ethernet IP address, and any other site spe­cific settings made for your particular installation. You will have to re­enter the access server’s Ethernet IP address and netmask using the front panel control port in order to use the HTTP/HTML Manage­ment pages.

Introduction

The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your access server’s configura­tion parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or imported, into a replacment access server—greatly speeding up the installation process should an access server need replacing.
Note All actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.
To import or export a configuration, click on
Import/Export main window (see figure 6).

4 • Alarms Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide

Introduction

The access server has an extensive alarm reporting system which enables users to configure, monitor, and test major and minor alarms. The alarm system can be set to notify if equipment fails (for example, a power supply failure) or if a T1/E1/PRI port malfunctions. There are 11 access server items that can be configured by the user to generate alerts based on the condition of the access server.

Displaying the Alarms window

Click on Alarms under the Configuration Menu to to display the Alarm System main window (figure 9).
Note The system administrator can manually generate a specific alarm for
testing purposes or clear the alarm counters from the main window.
Figure 9. Alarms main window
42 Introduction
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 4 • Alarms
The access server has three methods to notify of an alarm condition:
Front panel LED—The front panel ALARM LED has three states that indicate the presence and severity of
an alarm. The states are:
- Off—No alarm present
- Solid—Minor alarm
- Flashing—Major alarm.
Note The POWER LED will flash if a power supply failure alarm is
present.
Administration web page indication—The Alarms window of the administration page uses red highlighting
to indicate which items are in an alarm state (see figure 10).
Figure 10. Sample alarm indication
SYSLOG/SNMP—For external notification, the access server can be configured to send a SYSLOG mes-
sage or an SNMP TRAP to an external management host. To configure the alarm response for either SNMP Traps or SYSLOG messages, click on the
Alarm Response link (go to “Modify Response—Configuring the
alarm response system” on page 45).
Besides enabling a user to view current alarm status, manually generate an alarm as a test, and clear the alarm time and alarm count variables, the Alarms main window also contains links to the following:
Modify Response—Clicking on this link takes you to a window where you can change how the SYSLOG/
SNMP function notifies remote users of an alarm (see “Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response system” on page 45)
Modify Alarms—Clicking on this link takes you to a window where you can change how the access server
perceives the severity of each alarm (“Modify Alarms—Configuring alarm severity levels” on page 46)

Alarm Response Outputs

Alarm Response Outputs display the current settings for handling alarm notification via SYSLOG/SNMP messages. To change how the SYSLOG/SNMP function notifies remote users of an alarm, refer to “Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response system” on page 45.
Displaying the Alarms window 43
4 • Alarms Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
Minor Alarm Syslog Priority (minSyslogPriority)
Displays the SYSLOG priority of the minor alarm SYSLOG message, SYSLOG outputs that have a priority less than this value will receive the minor alarm SYSLOG message.
Major Alarm Syslog Priority (majorSyslogPriority)
Displays the SYSLOG priority of the major alarm SYSLOG message, SYSLOG outputs that have a priority less than this value will receive the minor alarm SYSLOG message.
Minor Alarm Trap IP (minorTrapIp)
Displays the IP address of a host system which is running a SNMP trap deamon. Minor alarm messages will be sent to the system. If set to 0.0.0.0 then no trap message will be sent in response to a minor alarm
Major Alarm Trap IP (majorTrapIp)
Displays the IP address of a host system which is running a SNMP trap deamon. Major alarm messages will be sent to the system. If set to 0.0.0.0 then no trap message will be sent in response to a minor alarm
Clear All Alarms
Clicking on this button resets all alarms to a non-alarm condition.

Alarms

This portion of the Alarms main window displays the alarm status table, where you can view current alarm sta­tus, manually generate an alarm as a test, and clear the alarm time and alarm count variables.
Alarm ID
This number identifies the alarm item.
Alarm Name
The alarm items are grouped into two categories: system and WAN trunk alarms. The system group category lists access server temperature and power supply status. The WAN category monitors the T1/E1/PRI ports for yellow and red alarms.
Alarm Time
The Alarm Time column displays the number of seconds the alarm has been activated.
Alarm Count
The Alarm Count column indicates how many times the alarm has occurred and is useful for monitoring self­clearing alarms.
Generate Alarm
For testing purposes, clicking the Generate Alarm button next to each alarm name will cause that alarm con­dition to be activated.
Clear Alarm
Clicking the Clear Alarm button resets the alarm to a non-alarm condition.
44 Displaying the Alarms window
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 4 • Alarms
Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response system
The alarm response outputs only effect external notification via SYSLOG/SNMP as the front panel ALARM LED and the web administration pages will always indicate an alarm condition. The following user configura­tion items can be set to permit external notification of access server alarm conditions:

Introduction

Use the Authentication pages to set up system security and to provide specific users with access to appropriate network services. This section describes the authentication parameters. The access server uses static and/or RADIUS authentication to decide which dial-in users can access the system (refer to Appendix A, “Supported RADIUS Attributes” for a full list of RADIUS attributes).

Displaying the Authentication window

Do the following:
1. Click on
Authentication under the Configuration Menu (see figure 13).

Validated via static database (auAuthenticationsValidStatic)

The number of authentications validated by the Static User database since the last access server reset.

Denied authentications (auAuthenticationsDenied)

The total number of authentication attempts requested but denied since the last access server reset.

Primary server retries (auPrimaryServerRetrys)

The number of times the access server needed to make subsequent requests for a call to the primary RADIUS authentication server.

Secondary server retries (auSecondaryServerRetrys)

The number of times the access server needed to make subsequent requests for a call to the secondary RADIUS authentication server.

Accounting server retries (auAccountingServerRetrys)

The number of times the access server needed to make subsequent accounting requests for a call.

The Statistics section 51
5 • Authentication Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide

Last Response Time

The time taken for the last authentication to be completed.

Setting Up Authentication

After selecting Modify from the main Authentication screen, you may set up or change authentication parame­ters for both RADIUS users and Static users. After configuring the Validation method (see “Validation (auVal­idation)” below), configure the additional parameters as shown in figure 14 to configure RADIUS parameters. See “Static User Authentication” on page 55 to set up Static users.
Figure 14. Authentication Configuration screen

Validation (auValidation)

Selects how the access server will authenticate an incoming call. Select from:
No Validation(0)—Select this to allow un-authenticated calls into the access server, and on to your LAN,
using the default service.
static Users(1)—Use the access server internal user database only to authenticate. Static users are simply
users and passwords entered into the access server’s internal users database.
radius Users(2)—Use RADIUS to authenticate and provision user services. RADIUS is a client-server sys-
tem developed to manage the flexible requirements of remote dial-in users. The RADIUS protocol is spec­ified under RFC 2138 for authentication and RFC 2139 for accounting. RADIUS servers are available
52 Setting Up Authentication
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 5 • Authentication
as freeware for most computer platforms and is an excellent method for managing user dial-in security. Any RADIUS entries will require an associated server to process authentication requests from the access server or the access server will reject users access. For more information about RADIUS, see RADIUS User Authentication, below.
tacacs Users(3)—This feature is not currently available
static Then RADIUS(4)—Check the internal user database first, if no match is found, then use RADIUS
to authenticate and provision user services.
static Then Tacacs(5)— Check the internal user database first, if no match is found, then use TACACS to
authenticate and provision user services. Not currently implemented.
Note The following options apply only when using an external authentica-
tion server.

Host Address (auHostAddress)

Tells the access server the IP address of the primary external authentication server. This must be the IP address as the access server will not resolve a Fully Qualified Domain Name.

Secondary Host Address (auSecondaryHostAddress)

When using a remote authentication server (RADIUS) this variable provides an alternative server IP address.

Host Port (auHostPort)

This variable tells the access server which UDP port to use when connecting to the host specified in the Host Address variable. The RADIUS standard, as per RFC 2138, specifies port 1812 for RADIUS authentication. Some older installations of RADIUS use port 1645.

Timeout (auTimeout)

This option specifies the time, in seconds, before the access server will retransmit an authentication request to an external authentication server.

Retries (auRetries)

This option specifies the number of times the access server will resend an authentication request to a RADIUS server after a TIMEOUT occurs. If this number is exceeded then the secondary host will be tried. If this num­ber is exceeded by the secondary host, the user will be rejected.

Secret (auSecret)

The Secret variable sets the shared secret between the authentication client (access server) and the authentica­tion server (RADIUS). It is used to encrypt an authentication request and to decrypt an incoming reply from the server. The secret on the access server and the RADIUS server must match and must be 15 or fewer print­able, non space, ASCII characters.
Note The same secret word must used on the access server and in the
RADIUS clients file.
Setting Up Authentication 53
5 • Authentication Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
NAS Identifier (auNASIdentifier)
This variable is used to identify the access server to the remote authentication server. If this option is blank, then the access server will use the it’s IP address to identify itself to the remote server.

Accounting Address (auAcctAddress)

This is the IP address of the accounting server. RADIUS also allows for the recording of accounting informa­tion.

Secondary Accounting Address (auSecondaryAcctAddress)

When using a remote accounting server (such as RADIUS Accounting) this variable provides the IP address of the accounting server.

Accounting Port (auAcctPort)

This is the UDP port on the accounting server specified in Acct Address that the access server should use to transfer accounting information. RFC 2139 calls out the port of 1813 as the standard RADIUS accounting port. Some older implementations of RADIUS use port 1646 as the accounting port.

Accounting Enable (auAccountingEnable)

This is a switch that allows the enabling or disabling the reporting of accounting information on the access server. The following options are available:
enableAccounting—Begin accounting of RADIUS authenticated users.
disableAccounting—Disable the accounting feature.
enableAccounting-no validation—When a response is received from either the authentication or the
accounting server it is validated using the defined secret. If the secret does not match, the reply packet is dropped just as if it never existed.
Early versions of the Livingston RADIUS server used a method for encoding the accounting reply packet that was incorrect. Accounting replies from these servers would therefore be dropped because they could not be authenticated, eventually resulting in timeouts and shutting the call down with the reason authenAc- countingTimeout. As a workaround for this issue, the state enableAccountingNoValidation—which does not check for valid encoding on the accounting reply packet—was added as an option.

Radius Packet Format (auRadiusPacketFormat)

The following options are available:
fullrfcPacket—The accept request packet includes Calling-Station-Id and Service-Type RADIUS attributes.
minimumrfcPacket—This setting does not include Calling-Station-Id and Service-Type RADIUS
attributes.

Static User Authentication

To view or modify the static users in the internal user database, click on Authentication in the Configuration
Menu. The Authentication window displays. Scroll down until Static User Identification is displayed (see
figure 15).
Static users consist of usernames and passwords entered into the access server’s internal users database. You can have up to 111 static users in the access server database.
You must have superuser-level access to make changes to the static users database.
The following sections describe each of the variables found in the
Figure 15. Static User Identification setup
Static User Identification section.

ID (suID)

Identifies the entry in the table of users. For the next user, select the next unused number. If you select a num­ber that is already displayed in the Static User Identification table, you will overwrite a current entry in user database.

Username (suUsername)

This is a unique name, to be provided at login time.
Note There is a 19-character limit on the username length.

Password (suPassword)

This is the password that corresponds to the ID being edited.

Service (suService)

This option instructs the access server on how to service the incoming call. Select from:
default—This is the default service as specified under Dial-In (see Chapter 7, “Dial In”). We recommend
that you select default.
admin—Not currently implemented.
monitor—Not currently implemented.
Static User Authentication 55
5 • Authentication Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
rlogin—Causes the access server to rlogin into another host. See “Service IP (suServiceIP)” on page 57 for
information on configuring the remote host IP addresss.
telnet—Causes the access server to telnet into another host.
tcpraw—All 8 bits are passed unchecked and unaltered.
ppp—Access server will try to negotiate a PPP session.
cppp—Access server will try to negotiage a Compressed-PPP session.
Note If a user attempts to login in using a different service than the one he
or she has been provided, the access server will reject the user. The exception to this is CPPP which will revert to PPP if CPPP is not available on the client.
slip—Access server will negotiate a SLIP connection.
cslip—Access server will negotiate a Compressed-SLIP connection.
dialout—Access server will give a dialout connection. The dialout connection is an AT command set
driven connection into one of the access server modems. On line help is provided by typing at help <cr>.
vpn—This option is currently not supported.
Note If a user attempts to login in using a different service than the one he
or she has been provided, the access server will reject the user. The exception to this is CPPP which will revert to PPP if CPPP is not available on the client.
Note All changes made to the running configuration must be saved to
FLASH by selecting Record Current Configuration under
diate Actions on the HOME page of the access server. Failure to do so
will cause all configuration information to be lost the next time the access server is re-booted.
After the user information has been entered, click Submit.

This is the ID of the filter assigned to the static user. A filter controls packets that can be sent or received by the dial-in user to which it is applied. Only one filter can be assigned to a user defined in the static user authentica­tion database.
Note Explicitly assigning a filter to a static user will keep default dial-in
filters from being applied.

Introduction

The digital cross-connect (DAX) link allows configuration of the access servers’ digital cross-connect that man­ages the time slots and clocking between the WAN ports.
The access server uses a single clock source for all WAN ports. Therefore, to avoid data loss caused by variations in network timing, each access server should terminate WAN connections from a single timing provider. WAN connections from multiple timing providers can be terminated in the access server if all the providers source their timing from the same stratum clock or if the access server provides the network clock.
Click on
DAX under the Configuration Menu to display the DAX main window (see figure 17).
Figure 17. DAX main window
Configuring the DAX
There are three variables to select when configuring the DAX circuit:
Circuit Type—Defines the overall clocking scheme for the entire access server (refer to “Circuit Type (dax-
ClockMode)”
Main Reference—Determines which WAN link supplies the clock for the system (refer to “Main Reference
(daxClockMainRef)” on page 61)
Fallback Reference—Enables the configuration of a back-up clock reference should the Main Reference fail
(refer to “Fallback Reference (daxClockFallbackRef)” on page 61)

Circuit Type (daxClockMode)

Defines the overall clocking scheme for the entire access server. For each circuit a selection must be made as to the overall clocking scheme of the entire system. If your system has only one circuit displayed, then that circuit must be set to Master.
The following settings are available:
master(1)—The master device is responsible for providing the master system clock in synchronization with
one of its references. If your access server has only one circuit, then this setting must be Master.
secondary(2)—The secondary circuit provides the master system clock if the master circuit fails.
slave(3)—Slave devices provide the system clock references for use by the master or secondary.
60 Introduction
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 6 • DAX

Main Reference (daxClockMainRef)

The main reference parameter determines which WAN link will supply the clock for the system.
The following settings are available:
none(0)—No clock selection. This would be used in conjunction with either a secondary or slave circuit.
local-ref-1(1)—Use WAN Port 1 for primary timing. Generally the first WAN connection will be used as
the main reference.
local-ref-2(2)—Use WAN Port 2 for primary timing. Generally the second WAN connection will be used as
the fallback reference (see “Fallback Reference (daxClockFallbackRef)”).
local-ref-3(3)—Use WAN Port 3 for primary timing.
local-ref-4(4)—Use WAN Port 4 for primary timing.
local-ref-5(5)—Use WAN Port 5 for primary timing.
local-ref-6(6)—Use WAN Port 6 for primary timing.
local-ref-7(7)—Use WAN Port 7 for primary timing.
local-ref-8(8)—Use WAN Port 8 for primary timing.
netref-1(101)—Use to obtain system timing from a slave circuit.
netref-2(102)—Use to obtain system timing from a slave circuit.
oscillator(200)—Use internal free-run oscillator for the system clock

Fallback Reference (daxClockFallbackRef)

The fallback reference enables the configuration of a back-up clock reference should the main reference fail.
The following settings are available:
none(0)—No clock selection. This would be used in conjunction with either a secondary or slave circuit.
local-ref-1(1)—Use WAN Port 1 for secondary timing. Generally the first WAN connection will be used as
the main reference.
local-ref-2(2)—Use WAN Port 2 for secondary timing. Generally the second WAN connection will be used
as the fallback reference. If there is only one WAN connection, then the fallback reference should be set to oscillator.
local-ref-3(3)—Use WAN Port 3 for secondary timing.
local-ref-4(4)—Use WAN Port 4 for secondary timing.
local-ref-5(5)—Use WAN Port 5 for secondary timing.
local-ref-6(6)—Use WAN Port 6 for secondary timing.
local-ref-7(7)—Use WAN Port 7 for secondary timing.
local-ref-8(8)—Use WAN Port 8 for secondary timing.
netref-1(101)—Use to obtain system timing from a slave circuit.
Configuring the DAX 61
6 • DAX Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
netref-2(102)—Use to obtain system timing from a slave circuit.
oscillator(200)—Use internal free-run oscillator for the system clock

Clock Status (daxClockFailure)

The clock status indicates alarm conditions relating to the system clock. If there are no alarms, the DAX page will indicate No Alarms (see figure 17 on page 60). Should one or more alarms be present, an Alarms Present message will be displayed with the following list of potention clock failures (figure 18).
no-failures(0)—No alarms present
main-ref-fail(1)—The main clock reference has failed
fallback-ref-fail(2)—The fall back clock reference has failed
master-system-clock-fail(4)—The Master System clock has failed
secondary-system-clock-fail(8)—The Secondary System clock has failed.

Dial In main window

The Dial In window displays statistics for individual users. This window shows currently attached users, the users state, and time that the user has been on access server. This window can also display recently disconnected sessions. The following sections explain the meaning of each statistic.

Active Calls (diActive)

The total number of active calls and calls that are initiating. If no calls are active then you will not see any User State Session Time access server parameters.

Peak Active Calls (diMaxActive)

The maximum number of active calls seen at one time since the unit was powered up.

Total Calls (diTotalCallAttempts)

The total number of calls attempted since the last boot of the box.

Call ID (diactIndex)

Unique identification of this active call for internal use.

Call ID (diactIndex)

Subsequent calls in a multilink PPP/ISDN call refer to this ID as a pointer to the bundlehead or originating call.

ML ID (diactMultiIndex)

Subsequent calls in a multilink PPP/ISDN call have a pointer to the bundlehead or originating call.

User (diactusername)

The user name that the caller entered. This can be a static user or a radius user’s login name.

State (diactState)

As the call comes into the access server it can be in one of five states.
Ringing—The call has been recognized by the access server and is in process of going off hook.
Connecting—The unit has assigned a DSP to the incoming call and is now in the process of negotiation of
the type of modulation—V.34, V.32, ISDN, or 56K.
Authenticating—The access server is in the process of verifying the users passwords by using static or
RADIUS authentication.
Online—The access server has completed authentication and we are ready to access the Internet.
Dead—The user has been disconnected and this message will go away after the linger time has esxpired.
Bury—Kill the call and remove it from the dial-in main window.

Duration (diactSessionTime)

The number of seconds this call was/is active. Time in seconds the user has been connected.

Modify Login

This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see figure 21 on page 71) describes configuring the IP address pool, login technique and general login information.
IP Address Pool (diIpPool)
The IP address pool contains the IP addresses that are assigned dynamically to the dial-in connections. Type the IP address pool in the space provided. The IP addresses can be noncontiguous addresses configured as follows:
– Blocks of IP addresses are designated with a dash (-) separating the first and last host in the block (for
example, 209.49.110.151-155)
– You can create a range of several individual addresses by using commas (,) (for example,
209.49.110.3,10,13)
– The addresses can be from a subnet other than the local network the RAS is on
– The IP address pool can have IP addresses from multiple subnets (for example, 192.155.155.1-6;
192.155.160.41-46)
Note The IP address pool is limited to 39 characters.
Login Technique (diLoginTechnique)
This variable defines the login sequence that a dial-up user will see. The various options are defined below:
none(0)—no login sequence is enabled
textORpap(1)—This setting enables clear text logins or PPP calls using PAP authentication.
text(2)—A username prompt is displayed and a username must be entered. If the received username is a
static user with no password defined, then the connection completes and no password prompt is issued. If a password is required then a password prompt is displayed and a password must be entered.
pap(3)—This setting assumes that all calls will be PPP users. No username or password prompt will be dis-
played. The system will go directly to PPP processing. The dial-up user must be configured for PAP authen­tication.
Note If the user trying to connect to the access server is not configured for
PAP he will be disconnected.
chap(4)—This setting assumes that all calls will be PPP users. No username or password prompt will be dis-
played. The system will go directly to PPP processing. The dial-up user must be configured on his computer for CHAP authentication.
Note If the user trying to connect to the access server is not configured for
CHAP he will be disconnected.
chapORpap(5)—This setting assumes that all calls will be PPP users. No username or password prompt
will be displayed. The system will go directly to PPP processing. The dial-up user must be configured for PAP or CHAP authentication. The access server will always request CHAP authentication first. Therefore, if a user can negotiate either CHAP or PAP, CHAP authentication will be performed.
72 Dial In Modify window
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 7 • Dial In
textORchapORpap(6)—This setting enables clear text logins or PPP calls using PAP or CHAP
authentication.
Username Prompt (diUsernamePrompt)
This is what will be displayed when the user first connects after the Initial Banner is displayed. The string can be up to 39 characters. This should be a ASCII printable string and can include carriage returns and line feeds. This applies only for text users not PPP. (See also Initial Banner.) For example the prompt could be:
Enter your username:
Password Prompt (diPasswordPrompt)
This defines the character string that will be displayed at user authentication time to request the users pass­word. The string can be up to 39 characters. This should be a ASCII printable string and can include carriage returns and line feeds. This applies only for text users not PPP. For example, the prompt could be:
Enter your password:
Initial Banner (diBanner)
This is usually a message welcoming the user. The message can be up to 39 characters and should be an ASCII printable string. It can include carriage returns and line feeds. The username prompt immediately follows the initial banner. This banner only appears for text login users.

Modify Service

This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see figure 21 on page 71) describes changing user login services.
Default Service (diService)
This object defines the default service that will be provided if the authentication technique does not specifically name a service type, and if no service is specified on the static users list under Authentication. For information about the static users list, see Chapter 5, “Authentication”.
The options are:
rlogin(1)—User will be automatically given a rlogin prompt.
telnet(2)—User will be automatically given a telnet prompt.
tcpraw(3)—All 8 bits are passed unchecked and analtered.
ppp(4)—Only a PPP connection will be allowed.
slip(5)—Only a SLIP connection will be allowed.
vpn(6)—Not currently implemented.
Default IP Service (diServiceIP)
This object defines the IP address that will be used for login connections (telnet or rlogin) when the authenti­cation technique has not provided an IP address to connect to.
Dial In Modify window 73
7 • Dial In Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
Default Service Port (diServicePort)
This object defines the IP port number that will be used for login connections (telnet or rlogin) when the authentication technique has not provided a port number to connect to. If no TCP port number is provided then the following UNIX defaults will be used:
telnet port 23
rlogin port 513
Force Next Hop (diForceNextHop)
All packets received on the specified dial-up link will be forwarded to the specified gateway. The gateway must be on the same network at the remote access server. This is the default setting that will be used if the setting is not overridden by the RADIUS response for that particular user. A setting of 0.0.0.0 indicates that this option is not in effect.
The RADIUS attribute used to set the Force Next Hop is attribute 209, a Patton vendor extension. For a full list of RADIUS attributes, see Appendix A, “Supported RADIUS Attributes”.

Modify Domain Name Server

This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see figure 21 on page 71) describes modifying the primary and secondary domain name servers for IP and Microsoft Windows.
Primary Domain Name Server (diPrimaryDNS)
The primary domain name server address to pass to the caller (Win95 PPP). The first place to try to resolve host names. i.e. IP address 204.91.99.128
Secondary Domain Name Server (diSecondaryDNS)
The secondary domain name server address to pass to the caller (Win95 PPP). The next place to try to resolve the host name.
Primary WINS (diPrimaryWINS)
The primary Windows name server address to pass to the caller (Win95 PPP). The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS).
Secondary WINS (diSecondaryWINS)
The secondary Windows name server address to pass to the caller (Win95 PPP). The Windows Internet Nam­ing Service (WINS).

Modify Attempts

This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see figure 22) describes modifying the login attempts parameters for dial in users.
Figure 22. Dial In Modify window (modify Attempts, Configuration, and Maximum Time objects)
Failure Banner (diFailureBanner)
This defines a message of up to 254 characters in length that will be displayed to a user if authentication fails. This message only appears when the authentication technique is Text.
Login Attempts Allowed (diAllowAttempts)
The maximum number of attempts a user will be given to login before being disconnected. This applies to Text authentication only. PAP and CHAP authentication are only allowed a single attempt.
Modify Configuration
This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see figure 22 on page 75) describes modifying the link compres­sion, MRUs, and MultiLink, and MultiBox parameters.
Dial In Modify window 75
7 • Dial In Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
Link Compression (diLinkCompression)
This object enables the PPP link layer address and protocol field compression. The following options are available:
enable(1)—PPP negotiations will perform link compression unless the other end of the link is unable to
work with compression
disable(2)—No compression will be used on the PPP link. This is the default setting
Default Max Receive Unit (diConfigInitialMRU)
This is the default setting for Maximum Receive Unit (MRU). This value can be changed by authentication or PPP.
Allow Magic Number Negotiation (diConfigMagicNumber)
Determines if magic number negotiation should be done. This access server parameter is used to check whether a link is in a looped-back state. The following options are available:
enable(1)—The local node will attempt to perform Magic Number negotiation with the remote node.
disable(2)—Magic Number negotiation will not be performed.
In any event, the local node will comply with any magic number negotiations attempted by the remote node, per the PPP specification. Changes to this object take effect when the link is restarted.
For more information, see Section 7.6, "Magic Number," of RFC1331.
Frame Check Sequence Size (diConfigFcsSize)
The size (in bits) of the frame check sequence (FCS) that the local node will generate when sending packets to the remote node. This setting becomes active when the link is in the up—able to pass packets—operational state (for more information, refer to “Operational Status (diIpOperStatus)” on page 90).
Compression (diIpConfigCompression)
Determines whether the local node will attempt to negotiate IP compression. The following options are available:
none(1)—The local node will not attempt to negotiate IP compression
vj-tcp(2)—The local node will attempt to negotiate compression mode indicated by the enumerated value
Changes to this object take effect when the link is restarted.
For more information, see Section 4.0, "Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression" of RFC1332.
MultiLink (diConfigMultilink)
MultiLink enables a user to connect using multiple channels. This enables dial-up users whose equipment sup­ports MultiLink PPP or multi-channel ISDN to use multiple channels to get higher data transfer rates.
Set the MultiLink - Max # of Calls per User parameter to the maximum number of channels a user can take for a single connection. Setting the parameter to 0 disables the MultiLink option.
MultiBox (diConfigMMP)
MultiBox enables a user to have multiple connections even if the subsequent call for an additional channel is on a different access server from the originating channel (bundlehead). MultiBox is useful when a single num­ber called by a user accesses multiple T1/E1s and subsequently different access servers.
76 Dial In Modify window
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 7 • Dial In
Setting the MultiBox - Query timeout parameter to enable(1) activates the MultiBox option. Setting the param­eter to disable(0) disables the MultiBox option. If MultiBox is disabled, then acquiring an additional channel will fail if the bundlehead is not on the same access server.

Modify Maximum Time

This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see figure 22 on page 75) describes modifying the time-out values for the session idle time, time to login, and the MIB data linger time.
Maximum Session Time (min) (diSessionTimeout)
This is the maximum time (in minutes) that a connection is allowed to be maintained. After this time the con­nection will be terminated, even if there is active traffic on the connection. This is a default setting, and it can be overridden by the authentication settings of a specific user. Setting the parameter to 0 means the connection will never be terminated.
Maximum Idle Time (min) (diIdleTimeout)
This is the maximum time (in minutes) that a connection is allowed to be idle with no traffic. After this time, the connection will be terminated. This is a default setting, and it can be overridden by the authentication set­tings of a specific user.
Time to login (sec) (diLoginTimeout)
This is the maximum time (in seconds) that a user is given to log in. This only applies to the time before the user is authenticated. This setting should take into account any time delays incurred when querying a remote authentication server (such as a RADIUS).
Call History Timeout (min) (diLingerTime)
Number of minutes a MIB entry will remain in the Active table after the call it pertains to is disconnected. Up to 15 dead calls can be displayed. Setting the parameter to 0 disables the timeout feature.

MaxSpeed (diModemMaxSpeed)
This variable assigns the fastest data rate that will be negotiated. The range is 300–64000.
MinSpeed (diModemMinSpeed)
This variable assigns the slowest data rate that will be negotiated. The range is 300–33600.
Note Increasing this number may prevent users with slower modems from
successfully connecting.
Guard Tone (diModemGuardTone)
Normally a guard tone is not required, but one can be inserted. This setting works for Phase Shift Key (PSK) modulations only, not for V.32 or V.34.
tone None(1)—Guard tone is not used
tone1800(3)—Guard tone is enabled
CarrierLossDuration (diModemCarrierLossDuration)
The number of 100ms intervals that the carrier signal must be missing before the connection is considered lost. Choosing a setting of 255 indicates forever. The range is 1 to 255.
Billing Delay (diBillingDelay)
The number of seconds after answering the call during which the modem should remain silent.
Retrain (diModemRetrain)
Enables the modem to monitor line quality and request a fallback or retrain for poor quality and a fall forward for good quality.
none (0)—Do not allow modem to retrain, fallback, or fall forward.
retrain(1)—Allow the modem to retrain if the line quality is poor.
FallForwardFallBack(2)—Allow the modem to fallback to a slower speed if the line quality is poor, or fall
forward to a faster speed if the line quality is good.
TxLevel (diModemTxLevel)
This variable should be set with caution; and normally only after talking to a factory representative. This sets the transmit level power level of the modem. The scale is 12 (-12 dB) to 20 (-20 dB) in 1 db increments.
Dial In Modify window 79
7 • Dial In Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
Note Larger numbers mean less transmit power is being output (in other
words, a setting of 20 will result in less power than a setting of 12).
Protocol (diModemProtocol)
Assigns the error correction protocol to use with the modem. The following options are available:
Direct(0)—No error correction will be used.
requestV42(1)—Enables V.42 error correction. If this is selected, the modem will either negotiate for V.42
error correction or—if V.42 correction is not available—will use no error correction.
requireV42(2)—V.42 error correction is mandatory, otherwise disconnect.
Compression (diModemCompression)
Assigns the data compression protocol to use with the modem. This setting is in effect only when V.42bis error correction (see “Protocol (diModemProtocol)”) is active.
Direct(0)—No compression will be used.
requestV42bis(1)—Enable V.42bis compression. If this is selected, the modem will either negotiate for
V.42bis data compression or—if V.42bis compression is not available—will use no data compression.
requireV42bis(2)—V.42bis data compression is mandatory, otherwise disconnect.

could be found. Some examples why a DSP could not be found are:
DSPs are no longer available to the resource pool because they are in reboot or hardware failure states.
DSPs are in an unavailable administrative state although they are functional.
The DSP resource pool is split between link A and link B and a call has been routed to a link over and
above the number of DSPs allocated to that link.

Introduction

This Dial Out main window (see figure 27) is where you can change items that are associated with making dial out connections from the access server to remote locations—including login, maximum time, session, physical layer, and outgoing modem configuration information.
Click on
Dial Out under the Configuration Menu to display the Dial Out main window.
The Dial Out window contains the following items:
Statistics for individual users (for example, user test
, as shown in figure 27). For more information about
the statistics displayed on the Dial In main window, refer to “Dial Out Main Window” below.
To view or modify individual user settings, select an active user in the wanted to modify user test, you would click on the
online(3) link next to test’s username. For more informa-

Session Time (doactSessionTime)

The amount of time the call session has been active.

Disconnect Reason (doactTerminateReason)

The reason a call was disconnected, listed as follows.
stillActive(0)—call is currently connected.
idleTimeout(2)—call exceeded idle timeout parameter.
killed(3)—call terminated by administrator.
userHangup (5)—DSP discovered remote modem was hung up abruptly. Examples could be that the phone
line was pulled out of the wall jack or the user terminated the communications without closing the connec­tion down. If the modems are unable to bring up the physical line by successfully negotiating the modula­tion, userHangup will be registered if the remote modem gave up trying to complete the call.
modemCanNotConnect(6)—The modems are not able to bring up the physical line by successfully negoti-
ating the modulation. The access server has stopped trying to complete the physical connection.
ModemError(7)—Not able to activate the modem. NO CARRIER shown to user.
loginTimeOut(10)—Exceeded login timeout parameter.
userTerminated(11)—A problem is discovered initiating the dial-out users telnet, rlogin or tcpclear session.
maxLoginAttempts(32)—Exceeded maximum login attempts as defined under the Dial-out link.
