Defining an incoming PPP link
To define a new incoming
PPP link using the PPP
Incoming Connection Wizard:
-
On the
Remote Access Server
screen, enter the name of the incoming bundle and choose
how an incoming user will be authenticated.
Click on Next to access the next screen.
-
If you selected to authenticate all incoming users using CHAP,
use the
CHAP Authentication
screen enter the identifier and secret that will be used to
authenticate the incoming user.
Click on Next to access the next screen.
-
If you selected to authenticate all incoming users using PAP,
use the
PAP Authentication
screen to enter the name and password that will be used to
authenticate the incoming user.
Click on Next to access the next screen.
-
If you selected to authenticate a user by requiring them to log in,
use the
Login Authentication
screen to enter the name and password that will be used to
authenticate the incoming user.
Click on Next to access the next screen.
-
If you selected to authenticate a user by their caller ID,
use the
Caller ID Authentication
screen to enter the caller ID that will be used to
authenticate the incoming user.
Click on Next to access the next screen.
-
On the
IP Network Protocol
screen, enter details about IP address negotiation and routing
that are required to establish a network connection with
the service provider.
Click on Next to access the next screen.
-
On the
Advertise DNS
screen, enter details about how the host will advertise DNS
name servers that remote systems can use
to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
Click on Next to access the next screen.
-
On the
Device Selection
screen, enter details about the devices (modems over analog telephone lines,
or ISDN adapters over ISDN lines)
that can be used to establish a
connection to the service provider. You can also configure a PPP
link to use several devices in parallel when communicating with the remote
site. This method, called ``multilink'' PPP increases the
effective bandwidth of the link. The requirements for its use
are that the remote side of the link also implements multilink PPP,
that it has as many connection devices available for use as the local side,
and that the devices at both ends are compatible (for example, both use
synchronous mode ISDN).
SCO multilink PPP implements
``bandwidth on demand''. This brings devices into use or takes
them out of use depending on the amount of network traffic on the link.
Click on Finish to complete the configuration of the link
definition.
Once you have entered these details, the incoming user
should be able to access the remote access server
using the newly defined link.
If you subsequently need to modify the configuration, select the
incoming user bundle from the list in the bundle view, select
Wizard Modify ,
then select Incoming -- Remote Access Server,
and click on Start.
