Configuring incoming PPP connections

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.
