Set Default User

Description Configures the Default User. When adding a new user, the profile of the default user

will be used to assign the values of the various parameters of the new user. For example
if you set the

service

parameter of the default user to

ppp

, when a new user is added,

their service parameter will be set to

ppp

.

Options

callback

When

On

, enter a phone number for the IOLAN to call the user back (the

Callback

parameter is unrelated to the

Line Dial

parameter).

Note: the IOLAN will allow callback only when a user is authenticated. If the protocol
over the link does not provide authentication, there will be no callback. Therefore, when
the

Line Service

is set to

PPP

, you must use either

PAP

or

CHAP

, because these

protocols provide authentication. The default is

Off

.

The IOLAN supports another type of callback,

Roaming Callback

, which is

configurable when the

Line Service

is set to

PPP

.

framed-compression

Used for

User Service

PPP

or

SLIP

, determines whether Van Jacobsen Compression is

used on the link. VJ compression is a means of reducing the standard TCP/IP header
from 40 octets to approximately 5 octets. This gives a significant performance
improvement, particularly when interactive applications are being used. For example,
when the user is typing, a single character can be passed over the link with a packet as
small as 5 octets as opposed to 40 octets when no JV compression is used. VJ
Compression has little effect on other types of links, such as ftp, where the packets are
much larger. The

Framed Compression

value will be used in preference to the

VJ

Compression

value set for a

Line

. The default is

Off

.

framed-ip

Used for

User Service PPP

or

SLIP

, sets the IP address of the remote user. Enter the

address in dot decimal notation as follows:

z

255.255.255.254

(default)—The IOLAN will use the

Remote IP Address

set in

the

PPP

settings for the line.

z

255.255.255.255

—When the

User Service

is

PPP

, the IOLAN will allow the

remote machine to specify its IP address (overriding the Remote IP Address
configured in the line,

PPP

settings). When the

User Service

is

SLIP

, the IOLAN

will use the

Remote IP Address

set for the line (no negotiation).

z

n.n.n.n

—(where

n

is a number) Enter the IP address of your choice. This IP

address will then be used in preference to the

Remote IP Address

set for a line.

framed-interface-id

Used for

User Service PPP

, sets the IPv6 address of the remote user.
