Symptoms

After migrating from Brisque 4.x to Brisque 5.0 using the Brisque v4.x to 5.0 EP migration diskette (part # 633-00346A), you cannot dial in for remote connection.

When you type makeppp, the following appears:

Cause

The PPP packages, which are required for remote connection with TCP/IP, are not installed during the Brisque 5.0 migration because of a problem with the Brisque v4.x to 5.0 EP migration diskette.

Solution

The following 2 PPP packages are missing after migration:

• bos.net.ppp (Asynchronous Point to Point Protocol)
• bos.net.ate (Asynchronous Terminal Emulator)

To install the missing PPP packages:

1. Open the AIX terminal and start smit install_latest.
2. Insert the AIX 5.2 CD from the Brisque CD set.
3. Select Software Installation and Maintenance > Install and Update Software > Install Software.
4. Press List.
5. Select /dev/cd0 as input device and press OK.
6. At *SOFTWARE to install [_all_latest], press List.
7. Select Find. Then type bos.net and press OK.
8. Select the following 2 PPP packages and press OK:
   • 5.2.0.0 Async Point ot Point Protocol @@l:bos.net.ppp 5.2.0.0
   • 5.2.0.0 Asynchronous Terminal Emulator @@l:bos.net.ate 5.2.0.0
9. Press OK. The message Are You sure... appears.
10. Press OK to install the PPP packages.
11. Upon completion, press Cancel until you return to the smit main menu.
12. Select Communication Applications and Services and verify that PPP is listed.
13. Remove the AIX 5.2 CD.

Note: The problem with the PPP packages will be resolved with the release of Brisque v4.x to 5.0 FP migration diskette (part # 651-00269A).
