Configuring a service provider
Using the PPP Outgoing Connection Wizard,
you can enter the following information about a service provider:
Provider bundle-
Enter a name for the outgoing bundle. This name will be used to
identify the service provider among the bundles listed by
the PPP Manager.
If you initiate the PPP link manually,
this is also the name that you should use as the argument to the
pppattach(1M)
command.
NOTE:
If you enter a name that contains space characters, these will be replaced
by underbar characters ``_''.
Remote system name-
Enter a name that will be used to identify the service provider in the
Systems(4bnu)
file, or select an existing entry from those listed.
You can edit entries using the
Dialup Systems Manager.
Telephone numbers-
Enter the telephone numbers of the service provider by clicking on
Add. Each number will be tried in turn until one is answered.
If you are configuring the connection to use multilink PPP,
you must enter at least as many numbers as there are potential component links.
To change the order of an entry, select it, and then use the
Raise and Lower buttons. Use the Delete
button to remove an entry.
How to connect-
Select whether the PPP link will be brought up
on demand whenever needed by software such
as a Web browser or telnet, or only by using the
pppattach(1M)
command to connect manually.
NOTE:
You must select pppattach if the service provider
dynamically assigns a potentially different IP
address to your end of the link each time it is established.
