To configure 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.
• APN.
You have the option to define an APN specifically for your PPPoE connection. See
No further configuration is needed to make a Standard IP data connection to the Internet.
See the table below for information on how to configure specific services for your PPPoE
connection.
If you need a certain service, for example a Streaming class, you must type in a specified text
string when asked for a service name. The following table shows the service names supported
by the terminal.
