PPP/ PPTP Settings
The PPP/PPTP Settings page is used to establish a connection over the DSL link or any other type of uplink, to the ISP (provider party). A
connection is needed to set up and to make or receive calls through PPP over Ethernet. The connection may be configured for manual setup or to be
always up. Once a connection has been established between the Quadro and the provider, Quadro users will be able to make and receive calls at
any time.
The PPP/PPTP Settings page offers the following components:
Advanced PPP Settings link refers to same named page where certain parts of the negotiation process during connection establishment can be
adjusted. Link is not available when accessing this page through
Internet Configuration Wizard.
PPTP Server text fields are only enabled when Quadro is running with the PPTP interface and require the IP address of the PPTP server.
Encryption drop down list is only enabled when Quadro is running with the PPTP interface and is used to select the encryption for the traffic over
the PPTP interface.
Authentication Settings require the Username and the Password used for the authentication on the ISP server.
Dial Behavior radio buttons:
• Dial Manually - if this radio button is activated, a button
will be displayed in the main management window that
serves to switch the Internet connection on/off. When
accessing the Internet, every station of the connected
LAN has to connect to Quadro first.
• Always connected - Quadro stays in the always
connected mode. This will allow remaining always online
in the network.
IP Address Assignment radio buttons are used to define the
way of IP address assignment for the PPP interface:
• Dynamic IP Address – the IP address to the PPP
interface will be assigned dynamically by the DHCP
server.
• Fixed IP Address – the fixed user defined IP address
will be assigned to the PPP interface.
Keep Connection alive checkbox enables keeping the
connection alive by sending control packets dedicated for the
link state verification.

Advanced PPP Settings
The Advanced PPP Settings are used to enable/disable certain parts of the negotiation process during connection establishment. These settings
are available only if Quadro has a PPPoE WAN interface.
Attention: Disabling any of the services below may cause problems when establishing a connection up to complete connection failure. The default
settings should be changed only if the ISP (Internet Service Provider) requires it explicitly or if the peer system has problems with one of the services
listed below. More information about these services can be found at:
