Installation instructions:
- Make sure you are root.
- Extract tar.gz file (be sure you have the correct arch file for your device).
tar -xvzf ppp_arch.tar.gz
- Create directories "/opt/n4m" and "/etc/n4m"
mkdir /opt/n4m
mkdir /etc/n4m
- Copy ppp-tracker (ppp) to "/opt/n4m"
cp ppp /opt/n4m
- Copy ppp-tracker config (ppp.ini) to "/etc/n4m"
cp ppp.ini /etc/n4m
- Edit /etc/n4m/ppp.ini and set your modem tty and other config params.
- If you don't have daemon command, install it.
apt-get install daemon
- Add this line to your "/etc/rc.local" file (before the "exit" command if exists)
daemon -r -n ppp -E daemon.err -L 60 -- /opt/n4m/ppp
- To launch the ppp-tracker, reboot your device or execute manually the added line
to "/etc/rc.local" file.
- To stop ppp-tracker, execute "daemon -n ppp --stop" or "daemon -n ppp --restart"
to restart ppp-tracker. See daemon's man page for more options.
If all previous steps have been executed without problem, you should see "ppp" network
interface executing "ifconfig" command.
You can trace ppp-tracker issues in system log file "/var/log/syslog", searching for
"ppp" label.
