PPPCONFIGURATION FOR IP 6 CONNECTIONS

This chapter gives the basic steps for configuring a simple Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Configuring a PPP connection using numbered links is a complex procedure and should only be attempted by experienced networking technicians. The configuration is not covered in this guide.

Requirements

In order to establish a PPP connection, the unit must have been configured with a unit name and a valid IP address and subnet mask. The ISDN network type must be configured correctly to match the ISDN service.

To configure these parameters:

1Enter QC NA to display the Unit Parameters screen.

2Type the unique name for the unit in the Unit Name field. It can have up to twelve characters. Do not include spaces in the unit name.

3Type a valid IP address for the unit in the Unit LAN IP Address field.

4Toggle the Network Type field to the correct ISDN network type using the Spacebar, if required.

5Press [Ctrl]+[E] to submit the new setting and then enter SAVE

A number of essential parameters have to be supplied by the Internet Service Provider before configuration can be completed.

The parameters which have to be supplied by the ISP are:

■The Internet Service Provider’s name.

■The ISDN number to call at the ISP.
