NPort 6000 Series Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes
Dial In/Out Modes
The NPort 6000 provides dial-in/dial-out access for ISPs and enterprises that need a remote access solution.
When a user at a remote site uses a PPP dial-up connection to access the NPort 6000, the NPort 6000 plays the
role of a dial-up server, but also ensures that the user has legal access to the network by verifying the user’s
identity with the NPort 6000 User Table or a RADIUS server. Please refer to the Misc. Network Settings section
in Chapter 9, System Management Settings, for instructions on setting up the NPort 6000 User Table.
The NPort 6000 supports PPP, SLIP, and Terminal modes for dial-in/dial-out access. Regardless of which
operating system is used, you will always be able to use standard PPP dial-up to establish a connection. The
NPort 6000 can also act as a router to connect serial ports to a WAN connection. Routing protocols (including
static, RIP I, and RIP II) can be adjusted to route different WAN connections.
Please refer to Chapter 7, Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes for detailed information and configuration
instructions.
Disabled Mode
You can disable any port on the NPort 6000 by setting the operation mode to Disabled.
