======PROCEDURE TO CONFIGURE DIAL-IN======


SuperStack Remote Access System (RAS) 1500 allows remote computer and Macintosh users to dial in over ISDN or analog lines and connect to the local network via Novell IPX, Internet Protocol (IP), or AppleTalk.


=====Using Network Dial-In=====

Use network dial-in (Figure 8) if you want to configure a RAS 1500 to allow dial-in users to do the following:

  * Access network servers (such as e-mail)
  * Access the Internet
  * Access bulletin board systems
  * Access UNIX hosts
  * Remotely access your RAS 1500


=====Required Information=====

Obtain the following information for network dial-in:

  * Dial-in phone numbers
  * Usernames and passwords
  * The number of IP addresses needed
  * How you want RAS 1500 to assign IP addresses


=====Requirements=====


Provide the remote RAS 1500 dial-in user with the following:


  * Username and password
  * Telephone number to access RAS 1500



=====Communication Parameters=====

Provide the remote computer with the correct communications parameters:

  * 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit
  * Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control
  * Normal Carrier Detect

=====Configuring RAS 1500=====

You need to perform the following actions to configure RAS 1500 for network dial-in:



----------------------


=====Required Steps=====


  * **1.** Configure IP address pools

  add ip pool <poolname> initial_pool_address <initial_pool_address>
  
// this is a pool of addresses that is assigned to remote users.  They should not be used on the LAN. They should not be in the DHCP range.//


  set ip pool <poolname> size [1-4096]


// The size must be the same number of remote users, with a margin for future expansions//


  set ip pool <poolname> route no_aggregate
  

  * **2.** Configure IP network users.

  add user < username> password <password> type network,login network_service ppp
  set network user <username> address_selection assign


  * **3.** Configure additional dial-up parameters.

  set user <username> idle_timeout <0-86400 seconds>
  
// This is for the RAS to cut the call when there is no packet transfer on the connection.//


  * **4.** Save all
