Manual dialup endpoint characteristics
Manual dialup endpoint characteristics
Use this type of endpoint when you need to initiate a PPP
connection manually using the
pppattach(ADMN)
command.
A link established from this type of endpoint has
the following characteristics:
-
the local host machine brings up the link by running
pppattach
-
it acquires the use of a modem dynamically from a group of one
or more modems administered by UUCP
-
either the local host or the remote host must be able to specify the
IP addresses that identify them
To add this type of endpoint, see
``Adding a PPP link endpoint''
and
``Configuring an endpoint for automatic or manual dialup''.
