Regaining Configuration Access to the PPP Serial Port Console

Configuring Dial-Up Networking

If the PPP serial port console is configured incorrectly, the command line interface (CLI) becomes temporarily unavailable for reconfiguration.

To regain access to the CLI when the console port is in PPP mode:

1.In the console window, type TTY. The CLI login prompt displays. It may be necessary to press Enter several times to see the login prompt. You may see the modem init command string.

2.At the Login prompt, enter your user name. The password prompt displays.

3.At the Password prompt, enter your password. The Cajun CLI prompt displays.

4.Enter the PPP configuration commands necessary to start PPP. Refer to “Configuring the Serial Console Port as a PPP Console”, earlier in this chapter, and “Creating an IP Interface”, in Chapter 7, for more information on PPP configuration commands.

5.After you complete your configuration settings, type exit at the CLI prompt to reinvoke the modem control software and exit CLI mode.

*Note: You do not need to exit from CLI if the serial port console has been configured as a TTY console, or if you do not intend to re-attempt connecting using PPP.

To configure your PC for dial-up networking with a PPP serial port console:

1.From My Computer, double-click Dial-Up Networking. The Dial-Up Networking dialog box opens.

*Note: You must have dial-up networking installed on your PC.

2.Double-click Make New Connection to configure your modem. The Make New Connection wizard opens.

3.In the Type a name for the computer you are dialing field, enter a connection name for the computer you are dialing.

4.From the Select a Modem pull-down menu, select your modem and click Configure. The Modem Properties dialog box opens.

5.Click the Connection tab. The Connection tab opens.
