Using the Remote File Configuration option to add, modify, or delete a remote file. Each remote file

single connection. 

To create a remote file:

the Remote File Configuration page that lists all current remote connections.

2. Click Create Remote to configure a new remote connection. This displays the Remote File Setup page.

3. In Remote Name, enter the name you wish to assign to the remote connection. Typically this is internet 

for the main connection; basic for the PPPoE connection, and backup for dial backup connection. Spaces 
are not allowed in the remote name.

4. Select the protocol that supports this remote connection from the Protocol drop-down menu.

5. Enter a PPP User Name and PPP Password. These are required for authentication when the remote
