Appendix B: PPP Setup
Hardware Setup
Modem Setup

To set up PPP:
1.
Save the file as ppp.cfg in any directory.
2.
Send the file to the MCU by using the Send option in the MGC Manager
MCU Utilities.
3.
Copy the file to the CFG directory using the Telnet option in the MGC
Manager MCU's right-click menu.
4.
Now type in the following information as shown:
pSH+> cd 7.256/mcu
pSH+> cd cfg
pSH+> cd.
pSH+> cd Bin
pSH+> mv ppp.cfg /mcu/cfg
5.
Reset the MCU.
The MCU can have either 2 COMM ports, or, if a MOXA serial board is
plugged into the system, it will be able to support 6 COMM ports. Before
installing a MOXA serial board, shut down the MCU. When turning on the
system, the MCU will automatically identify the MOXA board (if it exists).
There is no need for software setup.
An external modem may be connected to each of the serial ports.
To connect the modem:
1.
Configure the modem in ppp.cfg.
2.
Shut down the MCU.
3.
Connect the modem to the COMM port (as defined in ppp.cfg), connect
its power supply and turn it on.
4.
Turn on the MCU.
