T To Configure a Reusable PPP Connection
Perform this procedure on a remote computer with a modem to do the
following:
• Assign a name and define the parameters for a PPP connection profile that
can be re-used for dialing into the OnSite.
Defining a reusable “connection” with a name and the desired parameters
saves users the trouble of entering the phone number, username, and
password every time they want to dial into the OnSite.
• Optionally configure callback.
• Optionally dial-into the OnSite.
See the prerequisites listed in “Dial-in Connections” on page 112, if needed.
Note: The following steps work for a computer running Windows XP. The
steps are different on computers running other Windows versions or other
operating systems. You can use this procedure as an example.
