This chapter provides information on the internal functions of the router. It is not always
necessary in day-to-day work with the ISDN routers but can be very useful to specialists
in specific situations.

Script Processing

General

Some Internet service providers (e.g. CompuServe) run a script-controlled logon
procedure before a PPP negotiation. To enable the establishment of such a connection,
a simple script process is implemented in the ELSA LANCOM .
A script can include the following elements:
Element
<>
[]
$U
$P
$C
As previously noted in the overview, the user name and password are taken from the PPP
table if there is an appropriate entry there. If there is no user name in the PPP table, the
device name of the ELSA LANCOM is forwarded as the user name.
Once the script is complete, a PPP negotiation is started or the login procedure is
concluded.
The layer 3 entry in the layer list is used to define whether a PPP negotiation is started
after the script has been processed. There are three possible entries:
SCPPP
SCAPPP
SCTRANS
Description
Send the included text with a carriage return at the end.
Wait until the included text has been received. The text may be upper or lower
case. It is sufficient to enter an unambiguous subtext.
Send the user name (from the PPP table) with a carriage return at the end.
Send the password (from the PPP table) with a carriage return at the end.
End of the script.
A synchronous PPP negotiation is started once the script has been processed.
An asynchronous PPP negotiation is started once the script has been processed.
The logical connection to the remote station exists once the script has been proces-
sed. There is no more protocol negotiation.
