Figure 82: Edit Modem Configuration
This menu allows you to configure the modem settings and features.
The Dial-in console fields allows the modem to answer incoming calls and present a
login just like the console serial port does. The same login is used for both.
The PPP server fields allows the modem to answer incoming calls and setup a PPP
connection to the remote system to provide network access.
The Radius Authentication fields will force incoming PPP connections to
authenticate against the Radius servers configured in the Maintenance menu, Radius
Authentication sub-menu.
The Dial-in Console and PPP Server can be enabled at the same time. The router will
automatically detect if an incoming call is PPP or console only. Is the PPP client is
enabled, it will try to maintain the PPP link at all times, and hence block incoming
calls most of the time. Enabling the PPP Client at the same time as the Dial-in
Console and/or PPP Server is not recommended.
