Configuring Devices on the Dial-out Machine

The first task for setting up a dial-out PPP machine is to configure the devices on the serial line: the modem and serial port.

Tasks that apply to a modem usually apply to an ISDN TA.

Before performing the next procedure, you must have done the following.

• Installed the Solaris 9 operating environment on the dial-out machine

• Determined the optimum modem speed

• Decided which serial port to use on the dial-out machine

• Obtained the root password for the dial-out machine

For planning information, see Table 30-2.
