server then:
A. For non Windows (Linux, UNIX, Solaris etc) computers establish a PPP connection over the serial port. The online
tutorial http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialPPP.html presents a selection of methods for establishing a
PPP connection for Linux
B. For Windows XP and 2003 computers follow the steps below to set up an advanced network connection between the

console server:
 Open Network Connections in Control Panel and click the New Connection Wizard
 Select Set up an advanced connection and click Next
 On the Advanced Connection Options screen select Accept Incoming Connections and click Next
 Select the Connection Device (i.e. the serial COM port on the Windows computer that you cabled through to the

maximum baud rate. Click Next
 On the Incoming VPN Connection Options screen select Do not allow virtual private connections and click
