NOTE: Make sure you are running the latest firmware for
the Digi product you have. For the latest firmware go to www.digi.com
and select your product from the drop down list. This will bring you to
the latest firmware version available for your Digi product.
1.
Open a browser window, point to the IP address of the PortServer
TS or Digi One Device Server, and login as root (or use Digi Port
Authority Remote).
2. A screen like this should appear:

3. After logging in select Configure,
Port.
4. Click on Port 1 to
bring up the Port Configuration screen.
5. Set device type to Modem Out (or Modem if
bidirectional)

6. Click on the PPP Tab. 
7. There are several schools of thought for handling Routing with our PPP
abilities. To test the PortServer use Forwarding=Passive
and Proxy-Arp.
1) Static. Where you place the routes manually in
the machines in question. This can be a fairly labor-intensive process, and may
require
a bit of work to keep up.
2) Proxy-Arp: Where your PPP client is on the same
network as the Digi-One (172.17.153.x) and the Digi-One is responsible to
see that packets get to the PPP
client. This will require an extra Network IP address for the PPP client. (This
is probably the
preferred, and easiest method)
Command: set forwarding state=passive proxyarp=on
3) RIP: The process of having the Digi-One advertise
to the other routers on the network that they have a way to get to a specific
network, In this case the PPP Clients
network. A few drawbacks include: a) Your current routers must use RIP to
advertise routes
between them. b) Each PPP client must
be on it's own network. c) If Split-Horizon or Poison Reverse is not used, you
will
experience some route Convergence
issues.
8. Do not initially configure an IP Address. Start with an IP Address
on the same subnet as the PortServer otherwise you get into configuring
whether or not other devices know how to get to the
PortServer.
9. Login scripts are seldom required. Use them when you are configuring
Digi-device-to-Digi Device connections and the Digi device that
is to be accessed requires the user to supply a password and
does not use RADIUS.
10. Configure a Device by clicking Add Device after selecting Device
Menu from step #3 under the Outbound PPP section.

11. Enter the required information and click Submit.

12. Configure a User by clicking Add User after selecting User Menu
from step #4 under the Outbound PPP section.

13. Initially set username and password to be the same.
14. Default service should be NetService (if this is a PPP user. This setting is
required for PPP users)

15. Select Outbound PPP Settings at the bottom of the page.

16. Configure an IP Address: This means that the user will use the IP address
specified here.
17. Device Name: Is the device to use for this outbound PPP user. The
Digi-supplied device (gendialer) works for most applications.
18. Phone Number: Is the phone number to pass to the modem to establish this PPP
connection.
19. Login Script: Is a login script to use for this outbound PPP user.
Typically, a login script is not required. You need one for Digi
Device-to-Digi Device communication, when
passwords are enabled and when RADIUS is not used by the Digi devices
being
accessed. If you require a login script, the
Digi-supplied login script (loginscript) works for most applications.
20. Login Name: This is the name to use for logging into the remote server.
21. Password: This is the password to use for logging into the remote server.
