Tip
A Multi-Media unit’s own dial-up PPP username and password is used by default. Entering
a PPP username and password in a site’s definition makes View use your entries for PPP
instead of the Multi-Media unit’s during a dial-up connection.
Technical warning for PPP: Changing the “Rapid Eye Multi” phone book entry in a dial-up
program is ineffective. The phonebook entry is overwritten by data in the Multi database
every time an automatic connection to a RAS server is attempted.
