To leave thesevalues set to their defaults, click Submit. To change these settings, refer to“Configuring Modem Control Parameters”.If your service provider requires that you create a connection script, refer toChapter 7, “Using a Connection Script” for assistance.If you would like to configure a connection to another private network, repeatsteps 1 through 17.
