Configuring Communications on a Dial-Out System

The procedures in this section show how to configure communications over the serial line of the dial-out system. 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 on a Dial-Out System.

    The following tasks show how to enable the dial-out system to successfully initiate communications with the dial-in server. Communications are initiated as defined in the options 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

Oracle Solaris PPP 4.0 provides templates for the PPP configuration files, which you can customize to accommodate your needs. Refer to Dial-Up PPP Template Files for detailed information about these files.
