Configuring a Dial-Out Location
If you are using a continuous dial-out link, a location entry on the PortMaster must be
created for the location identified as
isp1
. This entry allows the PortMaster to establish a
connection with the ISP as soon as it is booted. The new location
isp1
should be
configured with the values shown in Table 16-5, or as instructed by your ISP.
