Configuring Individual WAN Connections
Most of the parameters for configuring WAN connections are in the Answer profile and
Connection or Names/Passwords profiles. Most of the decisions you have to make depend on
which protocol you choose for encapsulating data transmitted over the connection. Point to
Point Protocol (PPP) supports dial-in connections between the MAX and modems or ISDN
devices. Three variants—Multilink Protocol (MP), Multilink Protocol Plus (MP+), and
Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP)—support multichannel connections. If your
network supports AppleTalk, you can configure AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA) connections
to asynchronous modems, or you can enable AppleTalk clients to use PPP for dialing in. The
MAX terminal server provides a command-line interface for administrators, and can provide
access to local and remote users through a terminal-server interface.
