Serial Port Profiles

The 

 profile configures a serial port to allow a remote user to establish a PPP 

connection to the IOLAN’s serial port. This is typically used with a modem for dial-in or dial-out 
access to the network or a wireless WAN card.

There are two options for PPP user authentication:

You can configure a specific user/password and a specific remote user/password per a serial port.

You can create a secrets file with multiple users and their passwords that will globally 
authenticate users on all serial ports.

You can use configure PPP authentication in the configuration or in the secrets file, but not both.

If you want to use a secrets file, you must download the secrets file to the IOLAN for CHAP or PAP 
authentication; the files must be downloaded to the IOLAN using the names 

 and 

, respectively. The file can be downloaded to the IOLAN under the 

 

option by selecting the 

 parameter. 

In the 

 profile, you must also specify the 

 option as 

 or 

 on the 

 tab, but must leave the 

, 

, 

 

, and 

 fields blank.

An example of the CHAP secrets file follows:

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP

# client        server    secret                acceptable local IP addresses

  barney        fred      flintstone1234567890  192.168.43.1

  fred          barney    wilma                 192.168.43.2

An example of the PAP secret file follows:

# Secrets for authentication using PAP

# client        server    secret                acceptable local IP addresses

  barney          *       flintstone1234567890

Sets the default state of the plug.

Data Options: On, Off

Default: Off

When a server or router has its console port connected to one of the serial ports 
on this IOLAN and that server/router is also powered by this RPS, the 
server/router serial port number should be entered here. This will give you 
direct access to some RPS commands when managing that server or router 
(using Telnet or SSH).
