Hold the keys down for several seconds until the Configuration Tool starts.

Note: If you are unable to enter the Configuration Tool, the workstation may not have access to the Configuration Tool. Refer to IBM NetVista Thin Client Manager Operations Utility (SA23-2813) for more information about granting and denying access to the Configuration Tool. This information is available at the following URL:

4.From the Configuration Tool, select a language.

You have completed the initial configurations of your workstation for PPP dialer access. Continue with “Configuring initial modem settings for PPP dialer access”.

Configuring initial modem settings for PPP dialer access

Once you have prepared a workstation for PPP dialer access, you must configure the initial modem settings of the workstation. Perform the following steps from the Communication Options menu of the Configuration Tool to complete this task:

1.Select a type of modem. N2800e workstations use an USB modem, or a serial modem.

2.Select DTE Baud rate. If you are using a 56K modem, you should select 57600 or higher.

3.Select a dialing method. You can choose Tone or Pulse.

4.This step is optional, depending on the modem that you are using:

a.Type the modem initialization string in the appropriate field. This can contain additional commands for the modem.

b.Type one command string and one response string into the appropriate fields. Refer to the documentation for the modem that you are using for

specific commands. An example of a command string and a response string is atz&fL1 OK.

5.This step is optional, depending on the applications that you want to use:

a.If you need DNS support, from the DNS active pulldown list, select Yes.

b.Type up to two DNS server IP addresses in the IP address 1 and IP address 2 fields.

c.Type an optional domain name in the Domain field.

6.Type the telephone number of the ISP in the Phone number field. You can include commas in the telephone number for time delay, but you cannot include blank spaces. Commas indicate to the PPP dialer that it needs to wait for a dial tone before continuing to dial the telephone number of the ISP.
