Asynchronous Dial Script

Dial script for a dial-out connection on an asynchronous port.

To configure a script, click Async Dial Script in the Locations configuration panel, and enter one or more send and expect string pairs.

Each send string is sent from the PortMaster to the modem or remote host. When the expect string is matched against the input from the remote end, the next line in the send string is sent, and so on. When the last line in the script is finished, the PortMaster activates the data link protocol specified for this location. Therefore, the last entry in the dial command script should be an expect string that indicates that the remote location is ready to begin receiving network packets.

Tip Automatic location table scripting is a preferred alternative to asynchronous dial scripting---enter Username, Phone Number, and Password in the Locations panel for this alternative method.
