Configuring the PPP server

This topic provides information on identifying the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) servers. You must identify the local and remote IP addresses that are required for PPP remote access to the system. PPP connections allow internal and external support teams to connect to the Message Networking system through a dial-up connection.

To set up PPP service on this machine:

1. Start at the Administration menu, and select Basic System Administration > TCP/IP Administration > PPP Server Configuration.

   The PPP Server Configuration page displays.

2. For each login that you must administer, enter the following information. See the Message Networking planning forms on the Documentation CD-ROM for a list of required logins and passwords. For information on completing the fields, click the field names or Help on the Web-based administration page:
   1. For Local IP Address, type the customer-provided IP address for the PPP access through the Message Networking system modem.
   2. For the Remote IP Address, type the IP address provided by the customer or remote support for the remote device that will connect to this Message Networking system.
3. Repeat step 2 for each of the PPP logins you need to set up.
4. When finished, click Save.

5. Click Return to Main to return to the Administration menu.
