Control dial-out sessions

Before someone can use SLIP to establish a dial-out connection from your system, you must start a SLIP *DIAL configuration profile.

To create or change a SLIP configuration profile, you use the WRKTCPPTP command. To start a configuration profile, you use either the Start TCP/IP Point-to-Point (STRTCPPTP) command or an option from the WRKTCPPTP display. When your system ships, the public authority for the STRTCPPTP and ENDTCPPTP commands are *EXCLUDE. The options to add, change, and delete SLIP configuration profiles are available only if you have *IOSYSCFG special authority. As security administrator, you can use both command authority and special authority determine who can set up your system to allow dial-out connections.
