Settings on Application -> PPP
 Basic PPP Settings:
To assign an IP address for incoming PPP client automatically, check Enable Dynamic IP

 Incoming PPP Connections
This section is used to make and maintain rules for incoming PPP connections. To make a new
rule for incoming PPP connections, follow these steps.
1. Click the New connection button.
2. On the Serial Port section of Incoming connection page, select the serial ports that you
want this connection rule to apply.
3. On the Authentication Configuration section, enter the User Name and Password which
will be used for PPP authentication such as NONE/PAP/CHAP/BOTH.
NOTE: To use the Local authentication method for Serial port authentication (See step 15
below), you need to enter the User Name and Password from one of the System users.
If not, you will fail to make a PPP connection, because you cannot specify PPP user on the
Authentication page of the serial port separately.
But if you are going to use None authentication method for Serial port authentication, you
can add any user even if it is not on the local database of system user and you can select
user name from the PPP User menu on the Authentication page of the serial port.
4. Next select the authentication method from one of following methods,
NONE: The remote user does not require PPP authentication.
PAP: Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) authentication is required.
CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication is required.
BOTH: Both CHAP and PAP authentication are required.
