Configuring PPP Interfaces
When powered on, the Neobit 1012VAinitiates a connection through
your DSL line to your ISP.
The point-to-point (PPP) protocol is commonly used between ISPs
and their customers to identify and control various communication
properties, including:
Identifying the type of service the ISP provides to a given
customer
Identifying the customer to the ISP through a username
and password login
Enabling the ISP to assign Internet information to the
customer’s computers
Your ISP may or may not use the PPP protocol. Contact your ISP to
determine if you will need to change the default settings in order to
connect to their server.
Viewing Your Current PPP Configuration
To view your current PPP setup, log into Configuration Manager,
click the WAN tab, and then click
PPP
in the task bar.
The PPP
Configuration page displays, as shown in Figure 36.
Figure 36. PPP Configuration Page
PPP is configured as a group of software settings associated with
the ADSL port. Although the device has only one physical ADSL
port, the Neobit 1012VAcan be defined with more than one group of
PPP settings. Each group of settings is called a
PPP interface
and
is given a name, such as
ppp-0
,
ppp-1
, etc.
