PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
Overview
You can establish a PPPoE connection to the BGAN network using the EXPLORER 710 system.
Use PPPoE if you want to control your connection independently of the web interface.
Possible applications are:
• Connecting a router
• Connecting broadcast equipment, optionally through a PC
• Establishing a Picocell for the use of cell phones
The drawing shows connections managed through PPPoE and web interface respectively.
Configuring the connected equipment for PPPoE
How to configure your equipment depends on the type of equipment. Refer to the user
documentation of the equipment. As a minimum, you need to configure the following
parameters in your equipment in order to make PPPoE work with the terminal:
• User name and password.
The user name and password can be left blank (or insert user name: void and password:
void). Then the registration on the Access Point is most commonly done in such a way that
the data connection is established with a dynamic IP address from the airtime provider.
To request a static IP (if subscribed to) from the Access Point you must type in the user
name and password from your airtime subscription.
Note for MAC OS
: User name and password are required. Use user name void and
password void. This works for some ISPs. Contact your airtime provider for further
information.
• For setups that have a check box for “Enable LCP extensions”, deselect this.
