Step 1: Configure L2TP terminator profile for any interface on the partition, which owns the modems

Follow these steps to create a terminator profile for any interface:

  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your server > Network > Remote Access Services.
  2. Right-click Receiver Connection Profiles, and select New Profile.
  3. Select the following options on the Setup page and click OK:
    • Protocol type: PPP
    • Connection type: L2TP (virtual line)
    • Operating mode: Terminator (network server)
    • Type of line service: Single line
  4. On the New Profile - General tab, complete the following fields:
    • Name: toExternal
    • Description: Receiver connection to dial out
    • Select Start profile with TCP.
  5. On the New Profile - Connection tab, complete the following fields.
    • Local tunnel endpoint IP address: ANY
    • Virtual line name: toExternal. This line has no associated physical interface. The virtual line describes various characteristics of this PPP profile. The L2TP Line Properties window opens. Click the Authentication tab and enter your server's host name. Click OK to return to the Connection tab on the New PPP Profile Properties window.
  6. Click Allow out-going call establishment. The Outgoing call dial properties dialog appears.
  7. On the Outgoing Call Dial Properties page, select a line service type.
    • Type of line service: Line pool
    • Name: dialOut
    • Click New. The New Line Pool Properties dialog appears.
  8. On the New line pool properties window, select the lines and modems to which you will allow the outgoing calls and click Add. If you need to define these lines, select New Line. The interfaces on the partition which owns these modems will try to use whichever line is open from this line pool. The new Line Properties window appears.
  9. On the New Line Properties - General tab, enter information in the following fields:
    • Name: line1
    • Description: first line and first modem for line pool (2793 internal modem)
    • Hardware resource: cmn03 (communication port)
  10. Accept the defaults on all other tabs and click OK to return to the New Line Pool Properties window.
  11. On the New Line Pool Properties window, select the lines and modems to which you will allow the outgoing calls and click Add. Verify the 2793 modem is a selected for the pool.
  12. Select New Line again to add the 7852–400 ECS modem. The new Line Properties window appears.
  13. On the New Line Properties - General tab, enter information in the following fields:
    • Name: line2
    • Description: second line and second modem for line pool (7852-400 external ECS modem)
    • Hardware resource: cmn04 (V.24 port)
    • Framing: Asynchronous
  14. On the New Line Properties - Modem tab, select the external modem (7852–400) and click OK to return to the New Line Pool Properties window.
  15. Select any other available lines you want to add to the line pool and click Add. In this example, verify the two new modems you added above are listed under the Selected lines for pool field and click OK to return to the Outgoing Call Dial Properties window.
  16. On the Outgoing Call Dial Properties window, enter the Default Dial Numbers and click OK to return to the New PPP Profile Properties window.
    Note: These numbers might be something like your ISP which is going to be frequently called by the other systems using these modems. If the other systems specify a telephone number of *PRIMARY or *BACKUP, the actual numbers dialed will be the ones specified here. If the other systems specify an actual telephone number then the telephone number will be used instead.
  17. On the TCP/IP Settings tab, select the following values:
    • Local IP address: None
    • Remote IP address: None
    Note: If you are also using the profile to terminate L2TP sessions, you will need to pick the local IP address which represents the iSeries server. For Remote IP address, you can select an address pool that is in the same subnet as your server. All L2TP sessions would get their IP addresses from this pool. For other considerations, see Multiple Connection Profile Support.
  18. On the Authentication tab, accept all default values.

You are now finished configuring a L2TP terminator profile on the partition with the modems. The next step is to configure a L2TP remote dial — originator profile for 10.1.1.74.
