Connecting to a Remote Host Using a Modem

To connect to a remote host using a modem and PPP do the following general tasks:

1. Define 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. Assign the 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 "Modem Port Assignments".

3. Add a remote host connection.

   After you assign a modem to a serial port, set up a connection to a remote host using "Connecting to a Remote Host Using a Modem". (Note that this option is not displayed until at least one modem is assigned to a port.)
