Configuring a PC as a PPP-client
In order to use the Windows PC as a PPP-client, the following conditions must be met:
a modem is connected to the PC,
it is installed under Windows,
the Dial-Up network under Windows was installed.
Messaging is not activated in SICAM Q80 7KG8080
Refer to the modem manufacturer's documentation and that of Microsoft Windows for information about installing the
modem and the Dial-Up network. The following will restrict itself to a few explanations and points on the general
procedure which is recommended.
On the Windows Desktop under the icon My computer there is the icon Dial-up Network. Create a new connection.
Enter the telephone number of the SICAM Q80 7KG8080' modem. Then the Dial-up Network's properties can be
edited. The following illustrations show the recommended default configuration, which should always work. Only the
IP-address must be entered according to the user's own needs. The dialogs shown come from Windows98. Under
other Windows versions, these dialogs appear differently, but are operated in the same way.
Some additional notes on configuration:
Protocol: Select only TCP/IP! Deselect all other protocols.
IP-address: The instructions above configure SICAM Q80 7KG8080 as a PPP server in such a way that the
PPP interface on the PC has a fixed address. For this reason, an unambiguous address which identifies the
Dial-up Network as a TCP/IP network interface on the local PC must be specified. If the computer has an
Ethernet adapter, this IP-address may not belong to the same Subnet.
Name-Server: not needed if there is a direct modem connection between the PC and SICAM Q80 7KG8080
unit.
Standard-Gateway: must be deactivated, since SICAM Q80 7KG8080 is neither an Internet provider nor router.
Otherwise there is a danger that the network will not work on the PC involved!
Compression: can be activated. But it is recommended to deactivate it when starting out.
LCP Expansion: Not supported by SICAM Q80 7KG8080.
