Configuring WAN Connections
Connection profiles
1-14 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
• Configure the routing or bridging setup of the Pipeline and for the WAN
connection.
Note:
This section assumes that the Answer profile has been set up to enable
PPP connections. (For a discussion of enabling this connection, see “The Answer
profile” on page 1-7.) PPP connections are usually bridged or routed network
connections initiated in PPP dialup software. (Bridging and routing
configurations are discussed in their own chapters.)
Unless the Send Auth parameter is set to None, the Pipeline must be assigned a
name in the Sys Config profile. To specify a name in the System menu, do the
following:
1
Open the System > Sys Config menu.
2
Specify a name for the Pipeline unit in the Name parameter.
For example:
Name=MYPIPE1
3
Close the Sys Config menu.
To configure a PPP connection:
1
Open the Ethernet > Connection > any profile > Encaps.
For example:
Encaps=PPP
2
Open the Encaps Options submenu of the same profile.
