Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide 23
PPP Configuration
This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point)
protocol operation of the WAN interfaces. In general, the parameters
listed here should be set for each WAN interface on which you plan to
use SMDS. Note that some WAN interfaces can be running PPP while
others are running SMDS or Frame Relay.
Link Configuration
Required for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation
Dedicated line operation is the simplest to set up.
•Set Dedicated connection
•Set PPP connection
CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode
keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or other port numbers
you wish to configure) section.
Suggested for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parame-
ters for operation.
Required for Dial-On-Demand Operation
Incoming dial-on-demand operation requires only slightly more infor-
mation than dedicated line setup. Outgoing dial-on-demand requires
additional information (see the suggested settings below).
•Set dial-up connection
•Set PPP connection
•Set to allow dial-in and/or dial-out
CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and then set the Mode, ConnectMode, DialIn, and
DialOut keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or other port
numbers you wish to configure) sectio n .
