Starting and Stopping One or More Connections
Users can dial up when a connection is running (that is, after a
connection has been started). You can stop a connection to temporarily
prevent users from dialing up using that connection. For example, if the
phone line requires maintenance, you should stop that connection before
performing the maintenance. When the maintenance is completed, you can
restart the connection.
You can start and stop RebelRAS connections one at a time, or you can
stop all connections at the same time. You start and stop connections from
the RebelRAS Status page.
The following procedures describes how to start and stop one or more
connections. The commands to start and stop entries that are available
depend on the current status of the connections. For example, if all the
connections are started, the "Start all entries" command doesn't appear.
