PPP Compression

The PPP Compression Control Protocol (CCP) is responsible for configuring,

enabling, and disabling data compression algorithms on both ends of the

point-to-point link. It is also used to signal a failure of the compression/

decompression mechanism in a reliable manner.

For each compression algorithm (BSD and Deflate), select one of the following

from the drop-down list:

Reject Selecting this option rejects PPP connections with peers that use the

compression algorithm. If Reject is activated, throughput may diminish.

Allow Selecting this option allows PPP connections with peers that use the

compression algorithm.

Require Selecting this option insures a connection with a peer using the

compression algorithm.

Internet Protocol

Select one of the following Internet Protocol options from the “Internet Protocol”

drop-down list:

Obtain an IP Address Automatically This option is selected by default.

Change only if required by the ISP. The server that assigns the FiOS Router with

an IP address also assigns a subnet mask. Override the dynamically assigned

subnet mask by selecting the “Override Subnet Mask” and entering a different

subnet mask.

Use the Following IP Address Select this option to configure the FiOS Router

to use a permanent (static) IP address. The ISP should provide this address.
