11. Beside User name enter the username of any valid user created using the
ServSwitch unit’s Web interface. Beside Password and Confirm Password,
enter the password that the user you entered above uses to access the Web
interface.
12. This screen also includes three checkboxes. Uncheck all three checkboxes.
13. Click Next .
14. Add a shortcut to the desktop for this connection. Click Finish .
You can now use this connection to access the ServSwitch unit’s modem. Since you
will still log into the unit through the Web interface after establishing a dialup
connection, the username on the PPP connection and the username used to access
the Web interface do not have to be the same. For security, you might want to
create a separate username for dialup access.
The unit will negotiate a PPP connection based on the settings you provided, and
no additional scripting or configuration should be required under most
circumstances. This is a summary of the settings for use with non Windows
operating systems, or other versions of Windows besides XP:
• You must use PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol); the unit supports no other
authentication methods.
• The computer making the connection must have TCP/IP installed/enabled
on the computer. Use it for the dialup connection.
• Configure the connection to obtain a dynamic IP address.
• Make sure that the username/password matches a user currently configured
on the ServSwitch.
• For best performance and to simplify the troubleshooting process, do not use
firewall software with the dialup connection.
