RE: hardware question regarding config PPP connections

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andy:
I did some research last night after my post and reached the same
conclusion.  I don't think the customer is going to think it is a great
thing to have to replace his IOP and all the IOA just to do PPP.  I am sure
we will find another solution.

Carl,

According to the V4R1 System Builder, the #2699 is supported on the model
400.  However, it would require a #2629 LAN/WAN IOP.  This could then
require you to replace your #2623 LAN/WAN IOP with a #2629.  I can't vouch
for the entire configuration, but it looks like a straight swap of the #2623
for a #2629 and the #2699 for the #2609.  From the looks of the
documentation, you would need to replace all three of your #2609's.

anyone know if the 2699 will work in a model 400.  The rest of the hardware
appears to be PCI which obviously does not mean the model 400.

One of the below Input Output Adapters (IOA) must be installed in order to
configure PPP.


2699 - - Two-line WAN IOA
2720 - - PCI WAN/Twinaxial IOA
2721 - - PCI Two-line WAN IOA
2745 - - PCI Two-line WAN IOA
2750 - - PCI ISDN BRI U IOA (2-wire interface)
2751 - - PCI ISDN BRI S/T IOA (4-wire interface)
2761 - - 8 port analog modem IOA

The message is correct.  2609's & 2612's do not support PPP.
You would be restricted to a SLIP connection.
I don't believe there is any comm hardware for a model 400 that supports
PPP.

I am trying to configure a PPP connection using Ops Navigator.  I have
does
many of these in the past with no problem.  I am trying to configure a
model
400 at V4R4 and when I try to create a new line description (again in OPs
navigator), I get an error saying that the hardware in the machine does
not
support creating a PPP line desc.  Below are the comm cards I have in this
box, I had hoped to use CMN03.  Can anyone verify this to be a problem, if
it is what hardware for a model 400 do I need?
