Install router with async interfaces.

nl10439 · ‎10-18-2005

Hello,

We want to migrate 30 computers with modems in it. Currently they dial into a NT server but we want to migrate them to a Cisco 1800.

I have experience with ISDN router-router connections, but not with computer async-router connections.

Do I need to define all type of modems that these computers are using to create a rule set per computer in the Cisco router? Isn't possible to create a simple config that's useful for all the 30 computer modems to dial-in?

Below I have a sample of the first configuration. what do I still have to add? Spefic modem commands?

hi

Do clarify whts the access-list which you have defined and configured under line 0/1/0? Any specific reason attached to that to keep that under the line config ?

Also for information sake do revert the kinda module being installed in your router.

do find some the supporting docs related to async modem configs and modem strings which i feel may help u out ..

Thanks for the reply. Well, the ACL on the line interfaces are overkill.

About the problem. I have a Cisco 1800 with 2 ingrated modems. So a laptop with a buil-in modem wants to dial directly into the Cisco router. But do I need to define the kind of modem of the laptop in my Cisco router? Isn't there a global config for most of the modems?

As attached a diagram.

hi

we have done a similar kinda setup for one of our customer quite sometime back using NM-8AM module in 2600 router and i feel we didnt do any extra kinda configs as such.

Are you facing some issues with the configs or any probs ? did u try out debugging where you are getting stuck up ?
