Configuring Communications on the Dial-out Machine

The procedures in this section show how to configure communications over the serial line of the dial-out machine. Before you can use these procedures, you must have configured the modem and serial port, as described in "How to Configure the Modem and Serial Port (Dial-out Machine)".

The next tasks show how to enable the dial-out machine to successfully initiate communications with the dial-in server, based on options that are defined in the PPP configuration files. You need to create the following files:

• /etc/ppp/options

• /etc/ppp/options.ttyname

• Chat script

• /etc/ppp/peers/peer-name

Solaris PPP 4.0 provides templates for the PPP configuration files, which you can change to suit your needs. Refer to "Dial-up PPP Template Files" for detailed information about these files.
