<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario: Connect remote dial-in clients to your iSeries server</h1>
<div><p>Remote users, such as telecommuters or mobile clients, often require
access to a company's network. These dial-in clients can gain access to an iSeries™ server
with PPP.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Situation</h4><p>As an administrator of your company's
network, you must maintain both your iSeries server and network clients. Instead
of coming into work to troubleshoot and fix problems, you need the capability
to work from a remote location, such as your home. Because your company does
not have an Internet-bound network connection, you can dial into your iSeries server
using a PPP connection. Additionally, the only modem you currently have is
your 7852-400 electronic customer support (ECS) modem and you need to use
this modem for your connection.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><div class="fignone"><span class="figcap">Figure 1. Connect remote clients to your iSeries server</span><br /><img src="rzaiy505.gif" alt="Connect remote clients to your iSeries server" /><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Solution</h4><p>You can use PPP to connect your home PC
to your iSeries server
using your modem. Because you are using your ECS modem for this type of PPP
connection, you must ensure that your modem is configured for both synchronous
and asynchronous modes. This illustration depicts an iSeries server with PPP services that
is connected to a LAN with two PCs. The remote worker then dials into the iSeries server,
authenticates itself, and then becomes part of the work network (<samp class="codeph">192.168.1.0</samp>).
In this case, it is easiest to assign a static IP address to the dial-in client.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The remote worker uses CHAP-MD5 to authenticate with the iSeries server.
The iSeries cannot
use MS_CHAP, so you must make sure your PPP client is set to use CHAP-MD5.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>If you want your remote workers to have access to the company
network as implied above, IP forwarding needs to be set on in the TCP/IP stack
as well as your PPP receiver profile, and IP routing must be configured correctly.
If you want to limit or secure what actions your remote client can take in
your network, you can use filtering rules to handle their IP packets.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The above illustration only has one remote dial-in client, because
the ECS modem can only handle one connection at a time. If your needs require
multiple simultaneous dial-in clients, then see the planning section for both
hardware and software considerations.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Sample configuration</h4><ol><li>Configure Dial-up Networking and create a dial-up connection on the remote
PC.</li>
<li>Configure a Receiver Connection Profile on your iSeries server. <p>Ensure that you enter
the following information: </p>
<ul><li><strong>Protocol type</strong>: <tt>PPP</tt></li>
<li><strong>Connection type</strong>: <tt>Switched-line</tt></li>
<li><strong>Operating mode</strong>: <tt>Answer</tt></li>
<li><strong>Link configuration</strong>: <tt>This may be single line, or a line pool,
depending on your environment.</tt></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On the General page of the New Point-to-Point Profile Properties, enter
a name and description for the receiver profile. </li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">Connection</span> to open the Connection page. Choose
the appropriate <span class="uicontrol">Line name</span>, or create a new one by typing
a new name, and clicking <span class="uicontrol">New</span>. <ol type="a"><li>On the General page, highlight an existing hardware resource where your
7852400 adapter is attached and set the Framing to <span class="uicontrol">Asynchronous</span>.</li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">Modem</span> to open the Modem page. From the Name
select list, choose the <span class="uicontrol">IBM 7852400</span> modem.</li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span> to return to New Point-to-Point Profile
Properties page.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">Authentication</span> to open the Authentication
page. <ol type="a"><li>Select <span class="uicontrol">Require this iSeries server to verify the identity of
the remote system</span>.</li>
<li>Select <span class="uicontrol">Authenticate locally using a validation list</span> and
add a new remote user to the validation list.</li>
<li>Select <span class="uicontrol">Allow encrypted password (CHAP-MD5)</span>. </li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">TCP/IP Settings</span> to open the TCP/IP page. <ol type="a"><li>Select the local IP address of <kbd class="userinput">192.168.1.1</kbd>.</li>
<li>For the remote IP address, select <span class="uicontrol">Fixed IP address</span> with
a starting IP address of <kbd class="userinput">192.168.1.11</kbd>.</li>
<li>Select <span class="uicontrol">Allow remote system to access other networks</span>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span> to complete the profile.</li>
