Configuring SLIP links

To configure a SLIP link using the Network Configuration Manager:

1. Select View WAN and then select Software Configure SLIP.

2. When presented with a list of currently configured SLIP link definitions, click on Add to define a new link and choose the desired type of link configuration:

   • outgoing

   • incoming
   When you have completed entering details for the link, click on OK. If you configure an incoming link, you will then also be prompted to enter the SLIP login account's user ID and password.

   To modify the configuration of a link, highlight it in the list and click on Modify. Click on OK when you have finished changing the details of the link's configuration.

   To delete a link configuration, highlight it in the list and click on Delete. Click on OK when asked to confirm the deletion.

   NOTE: If you modify or delete a link configuration and the link is currently established, the changes you have made will only take effect when you next reboot your system.

3. Click on Advanced Options to configure advanced features such as header compression.

4. If you need to configure a Systems(4bnu) file entry for an outgoing link, select Call Services Outgoing. See ``The Dialup Systems Manager'' for more information.

5. If you need to configure a modem to be used for an outgoing or an incoming link, select Hardware Add WAN device. For incoming links, configure the serial port to accept incoming connections and turn on logging in and auto-answer.
