During the opening of a PPP session, IP addresses are negotiated
between the two peers for the PPP connection. The Local IP' and
'Remote IP' fields influence this negotiation.
Typically at the client side, the 'Local IP' and 'Remote IP' boxes are
left empty. This forces the client to ask the remote server for
addresses.
In case you want to set up the STPro as PPP server, suitable values
for your network configuration must be supplied:
Setting a local IP address
Forces the remote PPP client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as the STPro PPP session IP address.
Setting a remote IP address
Forces the remote client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as its PPP session IP address.
The 'Mode' field allows you to configure how a PPP session is
opened.
Three options are available:
Dialin
The PPP session is opened manually by clicking
next
to the PPP connection in the 'Dialin' page.
Alwayson
After the STPro is powered and finished its Power On Self Test
(POST) successfully, the STPro automatically tries to open a
PPP session for the PPP connection.
Dialondemand
The PPP session is opened automatically for a limited period
of time. The opening of the session is triggered by the arrival
of packets at the STPro Ethernet port, to be sent over the PPP
connection.
Note: By default one PPP connection is configured as 'Dialin' (i.e. PPP1),
another as 'Alwayson' (i.e. PPP2).
