Set the port and baud rate to the ones you are using with your modem. Enable hardware flow control.

To have the LCS60 assign your client software an IP address dynamically, leave the IP address as zeroes and add the -Doption to your data switch dialstring. For a privately administered address, enter the IP address your LCS60 administrator assigned to your client software. To request your reserved IP address, leave the IP address as zeroes and omit the -Ddialstring option. Leave the login and password fields blank; the client software will not be using PPP authentication, but the NAC instead (by means of the dialup script.) Leave the VJ settings as the defaults.

Note: Negotiation of the TCP/IP header compression option is defined in RFC1332. If your client package supports Van Jacobson Header Compression, then configure this feature on your Mac or PC. The size of each packet can shrink up to 35 bytes, thereby giving your PPP session a significant performance boost.

Activate the dialup script by selecting Start Script . As the connection progresses, a Progress Monitor screen will show dialup script activity to the LCS60. Once the IPCP is highlighted, the PPP connection is established.
