PPP IP
Enter the IP address allocated to the PPP functionality. Use the and buttons to scroll through the available
numbers.
NOTE: The IP address dened here is the base PPP IP address. The IP address used for dial in to the
PPP_Link2 is one greater than this ie if a PPP IP address is dened as “10.0.0.1” in the PPP Selection menu, the IP
address associated with PPP_Link2 is “10.0.0.2”.
Outgoing and Incoming IP addresses
These are read only parameters and identify the outgoing (alarm notication) and incoming (remote viewing)
IP address for the PPP function. The Outgoing IP address will automatically take the IP address set in the Base
IP address section. The incoming IP address will be the next consecutive IP address in the sequence, example
10.0.0.1 base IP address will be the outgoing IP address, the incoming IP address will be 10.0.0.2.
PPP Idle Line Timeout
This is the time the unit will wait before disconnecting the PPP link if no data is being transmitted or received.
PPP Link Down Timer
This is the time the unit will wait before dropping the PPP connection should it be lost.
proles.ini conguration
To fully congure PPP operation on a serial port, it is necessary to edit the conguration le \etc\proles on the
unit. This le contains a number of lines of code, each of which denes of part of the connection settings. The
elds listed below are required for each full conguration entry.
<Username & Prole Label>
For a dial-in connection, this is the username the external user has to enter to be authenticated
by the unit. For a dial-out connection, this is the username the unit will provide to authenticate
with the remote computer. This eld is also used as the label that will be entered in menus when
selecting this prole.
<Password>
For a dial-in connection this is the password the external user has to enter to be authenticated by
the unit. For a dial-out connection this is the password the unit will provide to authenticate with
the remote computer.
<Port>
This denes the Eco16 port over which the connection is made. For a PPP connection via Serial 1
on the Eco16 this is “PPP_Link2”. (Note “PPP_Link1” is not supported on the Eco16).
<Phone No>
For a dial-out connection, this denes the phone number that will be dialed when the prole is
used. This eld is not relevant for a dial-in connection.
<IP Address Range>
For a dial-out connection, this denes the rst in the range of IP addresses with which the unit
will communicate over the connection established with this prole. This eld is not relevant for a
dial-in connection.
