<div><p>Point-to-Point connection profiles define a set of parameters and
|
|
resources for specific PPP connections. You can start profiles that use these
|
|
parameter settings to dial-out (originate) OR to listen for (receive) PPP
|
|
connections.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><div class="p">There are two types of profiles which allow you to define a set
|
|
of characteristics for a PPP connection or set of connections. <ul><li><strong>Originator Connection Profiles</strong> are point-to-point connections that
|
|
originate from the local iSeries™ server and are received by a remote system.
|
|
You can configure outbound connections using this object.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Receiver Connection Profiles</strong> are point-to-point connections that
|
|
originate from a remote system and are received by the local iSeries server.
|
|
You can configure inbound connections using this object.</li>

</ul>

<div class="section"><p>A connection profile specifies how a PPP connection should work.
|
|
The information in a connection profile answers these questions: </p>
|
|
<ul><li>What type of connection protocol will you use? (PPP or Serial Line Internet
|
|
Protocol (SLIP))</li>
|
|
<li>Does your iSeries server
|
|
contact the other computer by dialing out (originator)? Does your iSeries server
|
|
wait to receive a call from the other system (receiver)?</li>
|
|
<li>What communications line will the connection use?</li>
|
|
<li>How should your iSeries server determine which IP address to use?</li>
|
|
<li>How should your iSeries server authenticate another system? Where
|
|
should your iSeries server
|
|
store the authentication information?</li>

<div class="section"><p>The iSeries server
|

stores this configuration information in a connection profile. This information

provides the necessary context for your iSeries server to establish a PPP connection

with another computer system. A connection profile contains the following
|
|
information: </p>
|
|
<ul><li><strong>The protocol type</strong>. You can choose between PPP and SLIP. IBM<sup>®</sup> suggests that
|
|
you use PPP whenever possible.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>The mode selection</strong>. The connection type and the operating mode
|
|
for this connection profile. <p><strong>Connection type</strong> specifies the type
|
|
of line your connections rest on and whether they are <strong>dial</strong> (originator)
|
|
or <strong>answer</strong> (receiver). You can select among these connection types: </p>
|
|
<ul><li>Switched line</li>
|
|
<li>Leased (dedicated) line</li>
|
|
<li>L2TP (virtual line)</li>
