Connecting to a Remote Host Using a Modem

Connecting to a remote host using a modem and PPP requires the following tasks:

1. Defining a modem.

   Examine the existing modem definitions in the Netra server using the View modem definitions option described on "To View Modem Definitions". If an initialization definition for your modem has already been created, skip this task. If not, add an initialization definition and a unique name for your modem using the Add a modem definition option described on "To Add a Modem Definition".

2. Assigning a modem to a port.

   Your modem must be physically connected to the Netra server on one of the serial ports. Assign your modem to a specific port by using the appropriate Assign a modem to Port x option, as described on "To Assign a Modem to a Serial Port".

3. Adding a remote host connection.

   After you assign a modem to a serial port, set up a connection to a remote host using the Add a remote host connection option described on "To Add a Modem Remote Host Connection". (Note that this option will not be displayed until at least one modem is assigned to a port.)
