Serial connection configuration parameters

The SCO PPP and SLIP drivers take a variety of configuration parameters, most of which have different possible values and implications dependent upon the type of link configuration you are specifying.

Because of the complexity of these configurations, these parameters are defined by configuration type in the Networking Guide. If you are connecting to a service provider, or to another system that is already configured, ask the system administrator of the remote site for the correct values to enter at the configuration prompts. If you are configuring both sides of the connection, refer to this documentation:

• For a list of configuration types, see:

  • ``PPP endpoint configurations''

  • ``SLIP link configurations''

• For a list of parameters associated with each configuration type, and instructions on SLIP and PPP configuration, see:

  • ``Configuring an endpoint for a dedicated link''

  • ``Configuring an endpoint for remote access''

  • ``Configuring an endpoint for automatic or manual dialup''
