4.2 Windows Dial-Up Networking (PPP) Configuration
This section describes how to setup a Windows Dial-up Networking connection using
an AirLink CDMA Modem. Windows 2000 Professional was used in this example.
The connection uses PPP to communicate to the modem and gain access the Internet.
Before you start, you need the following:
Administrator privileges to the computer you are configuring or access
granted by an administrator on the network to add/remove devices to your
computer. (Not necessary on Windows 98/ME.)
A 1xRTT user account, password, and access number (obtained from your
CDMA Service Provider).
Windows COM Port and modem set up for a Standard 33600 Modem (see
Section 4.1).
No other program is to be running that is using the serial (COM) port that
your modem is attached to.
Now that the modem has been added, the Dial-up connection must be created.
N
OTE: If you have an existing LAN connection, then this dial-up connection to
y
our CDMA modem may interfere with your existing connection. Once the
connection is initiated it will take over as the "default route" for the majority of
y
our LAN traffic, specifically Internet access. It's recommended to disconnect your
L
AN connection before using a PPP connection with your AirLink modem.
I
f however you want the two connections to co-exist, you can de-select "Use
default gateway on remote network" (described later) and you can use the route
command to setup routing through the modem properly. Go to a Command
P
rompt and type route /? to find out more, or talk to your administrator.
1. Select Start→ Settings→ Control Panel→ Network and Dial-Up
Connections.
2. Double-click on the "Make New Connection" icon.
