Point-to-Point Setup
The PPP Port Setup dialog box controls the WAN port protocol and dial on demand (DOD). The WAN
port protocol can be either Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP). Of
these two protocols, PPP is the more robust as it allows the end-points to negotiate the use of the link
and protocol parameters in a standardized way and also allows for standardized encapsulation of the
packets. SLIP is an older protocol which requires manual authentication using a script.
PPP is the default protocol.
If WAN 1(T1), SLIP and Dial On Demand are inactive. If WAN 2 and SLIP is being used, click the PPP
Enable option to disable PPP, then click the SLIP Enable option. Determine if the TCP header is going
to be compressed using VJC compression. If VJC compression is used, click the CSLIP (Van
Jacobson Compression) option.
The Point-to-Point Advanced tab contains options which control echo request, message printing, and
termination and configuration requests.
