How do I connect two LANS together using the PortServer II with Dialup Modems over a telephone (POTS) landline?

PortServer II setup:

• On 192.8.8.5 enter the following commands logged in as "root" on your PortServer II:

  Configure Port(s):
  #> set port range=8 dev=mio 
  #> set flow range=8 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on 
  
  Enable routing (using static routes):
  #> set forward state=passive 
  
  Configure user for network interface:
  #> set user name=fuzz NetService=on DefaultAccess=NetService PPPAuth=none
  #> set user name=fuzz IpAddr=192.8.7.5 protocol=PPP IPMask=255.255.255.0
  
  

  Note: The default password is the username, use newpass to change password
• On 192.8.7.5 enter the following commands logged in as "root" on your PortServer II:

  Configure Port(s):
  #> set port range=8 dev=mout 
  #> set flow range=8 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on 
  
  Configure and reference dialer script:
  #> set script name=dialstd s1="M{atdt%n\r} [BUSY]* [CONNECT]+ S50 T="
  #> set device name=netdev ports=8 dialer=dialstd 
  
  Enable routing (using static routes):
  #> set forward state=passive 
  
  Configure user for network interface:
  #> set user name=hoss NetService=on DefaultAccess=NetService PPPAuth=none
  #> set user name=hoss IpAddr=192.8.8.5 Protocol=PPP IPMask=255.255.255.0
  #> set user name=hoss LoginScript=loginscript p1=fuzz p2=fuzz n1=555-1234
  #> set user name=hoss Device=netdev Dialout=on
  

Note: The default password is the username, use newpass to change password

Unix setup (SVR4):

On the two Unix systems show in the diagram above, we need to tell them to pass their IP traffic destined for the other side of the link through the Digi PortServer II PPP connection. We do this by adding a static route in the routing table on the Unix systems.

• On the Unix System with the IP address of 192.8.8.4:

  # route add net 192.8.7.0 192.8.8.5 2 

• The Unix System with the IP Address of 192.8.7.4:

  # route add net 192.8.8.0 192.8.7.5 2

You should now be able to ping the the Unix systems or any other device attached to the networks on both sides of the LAN through the WAN PPP link on the PortServer II.

• Alternately, copy the following for each side (edit them appropriately) and cpconf them to the portserver II:
