Tip
You can check or change the baud rate on your Tri-Mode Phone
by selecting
menu, then selecting Features > Data > Baud Rate. If
the baud rate on your Tri-Mode Phone is not set to 38400 bps, be
sure to change the line speed for the PPP client so that the two
speeds match.
Note
38400 bps is the speed at which the Tri-Mode Phone
communicates with your computer, not the speed at which it
communicates with the Gateway.
3. Type
exit to log out as root and invoke the changes.
Checking the GS Packet Data Setup
1. Log in as you normally would (root not required).
2. From the command line, type
/usr/bin/ppptool and press Enter.
The information you provided to
pppinit now appears in ppptool.
3. Double-click the host icon you want to connect to.
This is the name of the remote server you entered in
pppinit:
gs_packet_data.
4. In the
Connection window, the “Phone number” field should show the
telephone number you want to dial.
5. The “Local IP address” field should read “unassigned.”
6. The “Remote IP address” field should read “unassigned.”
Leaving these fields “unassigned” allows the server to assign the
addresses.
7. The “Local inactivity timeout” field should read “120 second(s).”
This is the time the connection can remain unused before it
automatically closes.
Making a Data Connection
Making Packet Data Connections
Packet data connections can be either
■ Packet (PPP) data only (example: browsing the Internet)
■ Asynchronous data with PPP data (example: dialing into a modem
behind a firewall, then accessing a corporate intranet)
To make a connection using PPP data
1. Make sure the Tri-Mode Phone is properly connected to your UNIX
computer (as described in “Connecting UNIX Components” on page 89).
2. Power up your Tri-Mode Phone.
