Connecting to a PortMaster

Before you can monitor PPP negotiations, you must connect to the PortMaster on which you want to monitor PPP messages. You can also connect to multiple PortMaster products. Once PPPSmartAgent is connected, it monitors PPP negotiations in real time.

Note - The PortMaster that you connect to is selected in the source list by default.

To connect to a PortMaster, follow these steps:

  1. From the PortMaster menu, select Connect.

    The Connect dialog appears.

  2. Type a PortMaster IP address, or select a PortMaster from the pull-down list.
  3. Type your username and password.
  4. Click Connect.

To connect to multiple PortMaster products, repeat these steps as many times necessary.
