Configuring the Access Server
Step 7
Step 8
Configuring the Asynchronous Interface
The access server is equipped with up to 16 asynchronous interfaces, which are referred to
as lines in the setup dialog. The asynchronous lines must be configured to permit
asynchronous devices to be connected to the access server. (See the sections
"Asynchronous Protocols," and "Modems" in the appendix "Internetworking Primer.")
The asynchronous ports on the access server are configured to allow connection by TTY
devices, Remote nodes, and Remote LANs.
A variety of devices can connect to the access server using the asynchronous lines.
Terminals and remote nodes (such as PCs, Macintosh computers, workstations, and host
systems) connect to the access server and make use of its services. The access server
provides services allowing access to other asynchronous devices, such as printers, modems,
or terminals.
The following steps configure the lines on the access server to permit use of the
asynchronous lines by the access server or remote devices:

4-12 Cisco 2500 Series Access Server User Guide
In most cases you will use IP routing. If you are using IP routing, you must also
select an interior routing protocol. You can specify only one of two interior routing
protocols to operate on your system using setup: Interior Gateway Routing
Protocol (IGRP) or Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
Enter yes (the default) or press Return to configure IP, and then select an interior
routing protocol for IP:
Configure IP? [yes]:
Configure IGRP routing? [yes]:
Your IGRP autonomous system number [1]: 15
In this example, routing will be enabled on AppleTalk and IPX; IP has already
been selected:
Configure AppleTalk? [no]: yes
Multizone networks? [no]: yes
Configure LAT? [yes]: no
Configure IPX? [no]: yes
Enter yes or press Return to configure asynchronous lines:
Configure Async lines? [yes]:
