See ``PPP configuration'' for a description of the terminology used in this figure.
To display more information about a bundle, a link device, or an authentication database entry, select it from those listed, and then select View Expand.
An expanded bundle entry shows which protocols it understands (such as IP and CCP) and which link devices it can use.
An expanded link device entry shows which protocols it understands (such as LCP).
An expanded authentication database entry shows the methods by which a name may be authenticated.
Similarly, select View Expand all to display more information about all configured bundles, link devices, or authentication database entries.
Select View Collapse and View Collapse all to hide the information displayed about one or all bundles, link devices, or authentication database entries.
The PPP Manager provides two wizards that help you to set up incoming and outgoing connections quickly and easily. These wizards are available from the bundle view by selecting Wizard Add. See ``Using the PPP wizards'' for more information.
To configure the global bundle which controls how PPP handles authentication and multilink for incoming connections, select Options Modify Global Bundle.
