How to set up a dial in PPP connection在 AIX 设置拨号连接

Setting up a dial in PPP connection

1, Check that the Async Point to Point Protocol software is installed :-

lslpp -l bos.net.ppp

If not installed, then install using smit install_latest


2, Create a tty to attach the modem to :-

smit maktty
select "tty rs232 Asynchronous Terminal"
select the parent adapter

a, fill in the port number
b, set "Enable LOGIN" to enable
c, select the baud rate required
d, set the flow control to rts (RTS/CTS)
e, leave all other options at their default values

Test the modem and the port by dialing in from a Windows95 machine using
hyperterminal and logging into the RS6000 as root. If you are able to
dialin and log on to the system then the tty port and modem are okay.

mkuser ppp
passwd ppp
pwdadm -f NOCHECK ppp
