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.
