Configuring a bundle

A bundle definition constitutes the top level that is used to set up an incoming or an outgoing PPP link.

To add or modify a bundle:

1. In the PPP Manager, select View Bundles to view the currently defined bundles.

2. To define a new bundle, select Edit Add.

   To change an existing bundle definition, select it from those listed, and then select Edit Modify.

3. Enter the following general information about the bundle:

   
   Bundle name

   A name that will be associated with the bundle. This name is also used as the argument to pppattach(1M) to bring up outgoing links manually.

   
   Enabled

   Select Yes to enable the bundle. Select No if you want to prevent the bundle being used but you want to preserve its configuration.

   
   Type

   Select how the bundle is going to be used:

   
   Outgoing

   The bundle is to be used for outgoing connections only.

   
   Incoming

   The bundle is to be used for incoming connections only.

   
   Bi-directional

   The bundle is to be used for both incoming and outgoing connections. This configuration is required to allow callback of incoming users.

   NOTE: You may only specify one remote system for outgoing connections in a bundle.

   If you want a modem to answer incoming calls, you must configure it to do so using the Modem Manager.
