Peer configuration: Specifies how the remote IP address that is supplied to the client is
assigned.
- Automatically Assign Remote IP Address from IP Address Pool: The remote IP address
will automatically be assigned with a unique address from the IP address pool (as
configured in Basic PPP Settings; see page 93). The assigned address will not conflict with
any other PPP connection using the dynamic IP address pool.
- Note: This option requires the Dynamic IP Address Pool to be enabled.
- Allow remote peer to specify remote IP address: The remote IP address will
automatically be assigned by the remote peer.
- Assign Static Remote IP Address: The remote IP address will be assigned the IP address
configured on the Remote IP Address field. This connection will always be assigned this
same IP address. This is useful if the client needs to have the same IP address if it is
running as a server, for example.
- Allow Client Access to Local Network via PPP Connection: Specifies whether the
remote client should have access to the local Ethernet network when they dial-in to the PPP
connection. This option requires the ConnectPort LTS product to have a unique local IP
address for each PPP connection in order to handle the routing between the PPP connection
and local network.
- Local IP Address Specifies the local IP address to use for the PPP connection. This IP
address must be unique on the network and must not be the same as the remote IP address
or any address in the dynamic IP address pool. This address should reside on a different
subnet than the Ethernet IP address.
Advanced configuration: Specifies how the remote IP address that is supplied to the client is
assigned.
Enable Idle Timeout: Enables or disables whether this connection uses an idle timeout. The
idle timeout specifies the maximum allowed time a connection can remain idle before it is
closed. The idle time is defined as the elapsed time after the last byte that was received by this
connection. If this option is not checked (disabled), then the connection can remain idle for any
amount of time. If this option is checked (enabled), then the connection will be closed after the
connection has been idle for Timeout seconds.
