If you want to delete the currently selected interface, move to the
Delete
field and press Enter. You are asked if you really want to
delete the interface. If you type
y
, the interface is deleted and you
return to the Dedicated LAN-to-LAN screen, where you can choose
another interface.
5.
In the
Framing type
field, select the framing type you want to use for
the connection. The remote connection must use the same framing
type.
SLIP
and
PPP
are both ways of encapsulating packets of information
so the packets can be sent over a serial line. Note that ISDN connec-
tions only support
PPP
framing. Also, if this interface will have a
dial-up backup, you must select
PPP
since
SLIP
cannot be used for
dedicated interfaces with dial-up backups. If your dedicated inter-
face won’t have a dial-up backup, note that if you select
SLIP
, you
can only route IP packets over this connection, so if you want to
route AppleTalk or IPX packets, you need to select
PPP
.

Move to
Protocol details
and press Enter. The Setup Utility displays
one of two screens:
a.
If you selected
SLIP
for
Framing type
, you see the IP Routes
screen. Go to step 1 of “IP Routing Choices” on page 7-12.
b.
If you selected
PPP
for
Framing type
, you see the Protocol
Details screen. Go to “Setting Protocol Details” on page 7-9.
The steps for setting the Protocol details are the same for both
dial-up and dedicated interfaces, so to save space those steps are
described on page 7-9 of Chapter 7, “Dial-up Connections” instead
of duplicating them here. You can use the following worksheets to
record the information necessary to complete the Protocol Details
steps:
•
Worksheet 12, the “Dedicated IP Protocol” worksheet on
page B-15.
•
Worksheet 13, the “Dedicated IPX Protocol” worksheet on
page B-16.
•
Worksheet 14, the “Dedicated AppleTalk Protocol” worksheet
on page B-17.

When you are done setting the protocols, press Previous as many
times as necessary to return to the Dedicated Interface Screen.
