AXIS 200+ User’s Manual Section 5: Using the AXIS 200+
63
PPP Setup for Linux Follow these instructions to connect a Linux host to the AXIS 200+ to
your network using PPP:
1. Create a file containing the following lines:
2. Save the file as
.DIAL_AXIS200P
within the
root
home directory.
This script dials out to
<phone number>
and then waits for a
connection before proceeding to the PPP negotiation phase.
3. To open the connection, enter:
The latter variation on this command causes the AXIS 200+ to
temporarily have the Internet address 172.16.3.219. If an address
is not specified, as displayed in first form of this command, the unit
will then use its default address that was previously assigned using
the
arp
command.
Note:
❏
Please note that you will probably have to be
root
user to
establish the connection. The modem will try to connect and the
PPP process will then fork off into the background. A shell
prompt will be returned immediately. You may suppress this
behavior by giving the switch
-detach
.
4. After approximately 10 seconds, the connection should be ready for
service. You should then try pinging the AXIS 200+, and make sure
that it is online. The ping response times should be similar to those
below:
