8.3 Establishing a PPP Session
View the
PPP Status
at the Home page. If the PPP Status displays
DOWN,
click the
Connect
button to establish a
PPP session.
NOTE: Whenever the PPP Status displays
DOWN,
you do not have a PPP session established. If your Router’s
connection setting is set to “Always On” or “On Demand,” after a brief delay, the PPP session will be established
automatically and the PPP Status will display
UP.
If the connection setting is set to “Manual,” you must click on the
Connect
button to establish a PPP session. Once the PPP session has been established (PPP Status displays
UP
),
you may proceed with your Router’s configuration.
Section 11.2 provides instructions on editing the connection
settings. (Refer to the ‘Edit My Connection’ screen.) The Router’s factory default connection setting is “Manual.”
If you click the
Connect
button, the following screen will appear briefly. The
PPP Status
in the
Connection
Overview
window allows you to view the state of your ISP connection. When the
PPP Status
displays
Connecting…
, this means that you are establishing a PPP session.
