Appendix B Appendix B: Configuring a Portmaster

This appendix briefly describes a configuration using a Livingston Portmaster PM2E.

It is assumed that the target is connected to a port (port S7, for example) of the Portmaster. The serial line must have an inverter.

To configure the Portmaster, as system administrator open a window on the Portmaster, and set the following values:

mode: standard
port type: dialnet
dialnet type: hardwired
protocol: 'PPP'
MTU: 1006
baud rate: 9600 9600 9600
modem control: off
flow control: RTS/CTS
IP destination: target_PPP
netmask: 255.255.255.0
routing: none
compression: disabled

Press the apply button, and the remote reset button. If there are any problems, press the remote reset button again before starting PPP.
