PPPHOST.n

Name

PPPHOST.n -- PPP Configuration File(s) (Optional).

Description

This optional file is required only if a PSTN modem is connected to Xrouter and auto-answer is enabled.

It is read only when a modem caller issues the command "XLINK PPP", and may contain PPP commands to override the default PPP configuration for the duration of the call. It may also contain NAT commands.

The default configuration is probably OK for most purposes, but you may for example wish to change the inactivity timeout or the IP address.

There may be several of these files, one for each modem port. The "n" represents the port number on which the caller has accessed Xrouter.

Format

Each command must be on a separate line, Blank lines, or lines beginning with ';' or '#' are ignored. The maximum line length is 127 characters.

See the PPP MAN page for details of the PPP commands.

Files

If required, this file must be located in the same directory as the XRPi executable.
