Creating a Dial-Up Networking (PPP)
Connection
Once you have the driver for the modem installed on your computer, you can set
up and configure Dial Up Networking (DUN).
Note: No other device or program can use the COM port (serial port) configured for the
modem driver while the DUN session is active.
Caution: If you have an existing LAN connection, installing DUN for the AirLink device
may interfere with the LAN connection. We recommend disconnecting your LAN
connection before using a PPP connection with your AirLink device.
Once you have configured the DUN connection on your computer:
• The DUN connection may be set as the default connection.
• The computer may be configured to dial the DUN connection when it cannot
detect any network connection.
For instructions on changing these options, see Connection settings on page 265.
