Configuring the PPP Connection

1. In the Configurations dialog, double-click ppp0.

2. On the

Hardware tab, select all of the checkboxes except “Escape control

characters.”

3. Set “Line speed” to 38400.

The line speed for the PPP connection must match the baud rate on

your Tri-Mode Phone (38400 bps is the phone’s default). If the speeds

are not the same, your computer cannot communicate with the

Tri-Mode Phone.

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 connection 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.

4. The modem port should be set to the port you chose previously.
