Configure PPP

Before you can use PPP to set up a point-to-point connection, you must first configure your PPP environment.

• Create a connection profile
  The first step in configuring a PPP connection between systems is to create a connection profile on the iSeries™ server.
• Configure your modem for PPP
  For your analog PPP connections, you can use an external modem, an internal modem or an ISDN terminal adapter. A modem provides you with analog connection capabilities (leased and switched lines). Modem descriptions for the most popular modems have been defined for the iSeries™ server.
• Configure a remote PC
  To connect to an iSeries™ server from a PC that runs any Windows^® 32-bit operating systems, verify that the modem is installed and configured properly, and ensure that you installed TCP/IP and Dial-Up Networking on the personal computer.
• Configure Internet access through the AT&T Global Network
  Special profiles are required when communicating with the AT&T Global Network.
• Connection wizards
  You can use connection wizards to guide you through connection profile configuration.
• Configure a group access policy
  The Group Access Policies folder under Receiver Connection Profiles provides options for configuring point-to-point connection parameters that apply to a group of remote users. It applies only to those point-to-point connections that originate from a remote system and are received by the local system.
• Apply IP packet filtering rules to a PPP connection
  You can use a packet rules file to restrict a user or a group's access to IP addresses on your network.
• Enable RADIUS and DHCP services for connection profiles
  To enable RADIUS or DHCP services for PPP receiver connection profiles, follow these steps.
