Additional Devices

PPP and SLIP

NoteNote

PPP and SLIP is not directly supported by the Wizard.

Although PPP and SLIP are not directly supported by the Wizard, you

can use the Wizard to configure and use both PPP and SLIP.

Users may select any or all of Ethernet, PPP, or SLIP. When using PPP

or SLIP, the SPF options must be enabled. In the SPF/OPTIONS tab

select either SLIP or PPP or both. Make sure SPF is checked when

building the boot image. If Ethernet is not desired, select None for the

Ethernet controller name.

PPP (How to set up):

Edit the pcat.ini file in the

MWOS\OS900\80386\PORTS\PCAT\BOOTS\INSTALL\INI

directory and search for ETHER_OPTION_1.

By default, the PPP setup will obtain the address from the server. If

desired this may be changed.

ETHER_OPTION_1=ppp0 binding /ipcp0 iff_pointopoint

Make sure PPP is selected in the SPF/OPTIONS tab.

Go into the Wizard and select "Enable softstax" just as you would for an

Ethernet based connection. Build the boot.

SLIP (How to set up):
