Configuring the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

Using the PPP wizards

The PPP Manager provides two wizards that help you to set up incoming and outgoing connections quickly and easily.

To start a PPP Manager wizard:

In the PPP Manager, select View Bundles, and then select Wizard Add.
Select the type of connection that you want to create:
- Click on Start to set up outgoing bundle definitions by running the Outgoing Connection Wizard. Outgoing PPP links may then be established to remote access servers. Such servers may be operated by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or they may be components of an organizational intranet.
- Click on Start to set up incoming bundle definitions by running the Incoming Connection Wizard. The system can then act as a remote access server by letting remote users dial in to establish PPP links.

Once you have used a wizard to set up incoming or outgoing PPP link configurations, you can use the PPP Manager itself to modify these. Provided that you have not changed the configurations beyond the bounds that the wizards understand (such as converting an incoming bundle into a bi-directional bundle with callback), you can use a wizard to modify a chosen bundle by selecting Wizard

Modify.
