'ppp.conf' is tcp/ip over data comm. Modems on K class servers can come in through the GSP remote console or a mux.

Here's the GSP remote console proc:

REMOTE CONSOLE SETUP
To enable remote console on the "K" series system, do the following from the local console:

[CTRL]B
CM> er (enable remote)

The following will be displayed:

Current remote console access configuration:

Remote CS: Disabled
Mode: Multiple
Password:
Password faults:

Do you wish to change the configuration (Y[N]) (Enter Y)

Remote console access is now enabled

To change the parameters reply yes to the change request.

Mode: This can be set to single or multiple.
In single mode the system will allow you to connect to the remote console once then revert to the session mode.
In multiple you need to turn off the remote console to secure this option.
Password: You can set a password of up to 20 characters.
Password Faults: You can set the number of password attempts before the modem will shutdown.
To disable remote console access proceed as follows:

[CTRL]B
CM> dr (Remote console access disabled.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REMOTE CONSOLE SESSION
To dial in using the remote console you would connect with the modem as with any normal dialup. When the modems connect you will see the following:

@
Remote console enabled

To gain access to the console you must send a break from the remote terminal. For the operator to get access back while the session is still connected send a break from the console. While the remote console is active you have full control of the system to reboot, run offline diagnostics, and evaluate the system using the Access Port commands. Also, when you are using the remote console, all work will be echoed on the local console and when the local console is used, information will be echoed on the remote.

When you want to disconnect from the remote console type:

[CTRL]B
CM> di

This will disconnect the remote console and return the control to the local console. You must still disable remote console ([CTRL]B CM>dr) to secure the system.
