2.6 Adding a PPP Network Interface
The easiest way to add a PPP network interface to your system is to let KwikNet do all of
the work. You simply add a description of the network interface and its requirements to
your KwikNet User Parameter File and KwikNet prebuilds it for you during its initialization
sequence. Of course, you can always dynamically add PPP network interfaces at runtime
after you start
KwikNet. But for most applications, having the networks prebuilt and ready
for use is the preferred solution.
There are two kinds of PPP networks: client and server. You must use a PPP Client
network if you need to initiate the connection to your PPP peer. You must use a
PPP Server network if you intend to accept requests for connection from your PPP peer.
If you must operate in either mode, you must provide two networks, one for your PPP
client and one for your PPP server. You must then ensure that one or the other, but not
both, is in control of the serial network interface at any particular instant.
To add a prebuilt PPP network interface definition to your
KwikNet Library, use the
KwikNet Configuration Manager to edit your Network Parameter File. A separate
definition is required for each prebuilt network. The total number of prebuilt networks
must not exceed the maximum number of networks which your KwikNet configuration
allows. Each PPP network is defined using the Networks property page. The layout of the
window is shown below.
