Figure 4-5 ras.properties file opened for editing.
Note The first time you view the ras.properties file, it contains remarks explaining each
setting. The remark lines are preceded by a pound sign (see the example above).
After saving the file, the remarks are stripped out and any future edits of the file will
not contain the remarks.
Step 3 Edit the file using the information in Table 4-1 as a guide. At a minimum, you must
configure the following items:
General Properties
• rasEnable—change false to true.
• remoteAddr—set this as described in the Description column of Table 4-1.
• localAddr—set this as described in the Description column of Table 4-1. If the
parameter is missing, add it in the form
localAddr=<value>.
Modem Configuration Properties
• device—change to COM1 if your modem is attached to that port.
• initString—change if you are using a modem other than those that we have
pre-configured.
Tip The Sportster and Zoom initialization strings and update NVRAM commands
are pretty standard. Consider trying them with your modem to see if they work
for you.
• updateNvRamCmd—change if you are using a modem other than those that we
have pre-configured.
