Modem Administration

This chapter describes how to set up a point-to-point protocol (PPP) link
between the Netra server and a remote host using a modem.
PPP allows two computers to be connected over a two-way communications
link. The connection is established as needed. The Modem Administration
module enables you to administer connections to a remote host system (for
example, your ISP) using PPP. The following PPP protocol options are
supported:
• Dynamic assignment of your Netra system's host address
• Addition of the remote system's host address to your routing table
Connecting to a Remote Host Using a Modem
Connecting to a remote host using a modem and PPP requires the following
tasks:
1. Defining a modem.
Examine the existing modem definitions in the Netra server using the
View modem definitions option described on page 13-4. If an initialization
definition for your modem has already been created, skip this task. If not,
add an initialization definition and a unique name for your modem using
the Add a modem definition option described on page 13-4.
