PPP-list The router needs the device names contained in the PPP list in order to determine the
security procedure settings suitable for the connection and to determine the PPP
parameters. It contains a maximum of 64 entries and is structured as follows:
Device-
name
GLASGOW
Not all parameters can be reached via the telnet configuration. Use ELSA LANconfig so
far as possible.
Below is a detailed description of the meaning of each field:
Device-name In the Device-name column, you can enter the name with which the remote station

logs onto the router
In the case of connections via the data transmission network, this is the name entered
as "Username". For remote access via the data transmission network, the 'Username'
field (see below) is not evaluated!
Entries are not case-sensitive!
In this column, you can enter the security procedure to be used for verification of the
remote station. Default: PAP
None The router does not negotiate authentication with the remote station
when establishing a connection. However, the remote station can
itself require authentication from the router. This is the case when
dialing up a connection to an ISP, for example.
PAP The remote station is checked as per the Password Authentication Pro-
tocol.
CHAP The remote station is checked as per the Challenge Handshake Authen-
tication Protocol.
A password may be entered in this column. Its presence is indicated by the symbol *
and it is used to check the remote station. It may consist of 95 characters (7-bit ASCII,
including spaces). Default: None.
The command shows a list of the allowable characters.
set ?
In this column, you can enter the period of time between two remote station verifica-
tions specified in minutes. The CHAP protocol must be set here. Default: 0
In this column, you can specify the number of times the verification attempt is to be
repeated. If verification fails, the connection is immediately terminated. Default: 5
These parameters may be used to influence the operation of the PPP. They are defi-
ned and described in RFC 1661. The default values are sufficient for most remote sta-
tions. If nothing is entered here, the values 0,0,0 appear in the display but the default
values 10, 5, 2 are still used.
These parameters can only be changed via SNMP or TFTP (using the ELSA LANconfig
configuration program)!
The user name (max. 64 characters) transmitted to the remote station during PPP
negotiation. The router identifies itself to the remote station with it.
If no user name is entered, the device name serves as the user name.
Entries are case-sensitive here.
Network protocols to be routed over this connection: IP, IPX, NTB (NetBIOS). NetBIOS
always requires one of the other two protocols.
The routing of IP or NetBIOS via PPP always requires a suitable route (in the IP routing
table for IP or in the remote-station table for NetBIOS).
