58 PPPoE Protocol
The application enables following parameters configuration:
• Server name — name of a server to setup a connection to;
• Service name — name of a PPPoE service at the server;
•
user name — name of a user
1
when the Bercut-MMT device is
authenticated against server;
•
password — a password defined for a user;
•
Local pass — local system password, in case of bidirectional CHAP
authentication (
CHAP bidir
);
•
Auth Type — authentication type (possible variants:
PAP, CHAP,
CHAP bidir
);
• Interface — interface selection for connection;
• Start/Stop — testing process start and stop
• Status — connection current state; possible values:
Disconnected
(connection is not present),
Connection in progress
(connection is
currently being setup),
Connected
(connection established).
In order to work with the program, it is necessary to:
•
select authentication type:
PAP
,
CHAP
or
CHAP bidir
( Auth Type
drop-down list);
•
enter server name in the Server Name field;
•
enter PPPoE service name at the server in the Service Name field;
•
enter user name in the user name field;
•
enter password in the password field;
•
enter local system password in the Local pass field

;
•
to execute testing, press the Start button.
When PPPoE connection is being setup (the Status field shows Connec-
tion in progress ), information about the PPPoE connection will be output
until user presses the Stop button (refer to Figure 9.1, page 57). In case
connection is successful (the Status field shows Connected ), PPP connec-
tion status information will be periodically displayed. Otherwise, the device
screen will show possible reason of failed connection.

When
CHAP bidir
bidirectional authentication is used, the
Bercut-MMT
device
name is used as user name (
O-Menu
⇒
Settings
⇒
Bercut-MMT Information
).

This field is populated only at PPPoE connection testing for
bidirectional CHAP
authentication (
CHAP bidir
).
