PPP Settings
The PPP Settings page is used to establish a connection over the DSL link, or any other type of uplink, to the ISP. A connection is needed to set up
and make or receive calls through PPP over Ethernet. The connection may be configured for manual setup or 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 Settings page offers the following components:
The
Advanced PPP Settings link refers to the same named page where certain parts of the negotiation process during connection establishment can
be adjusted. This link is not available when accessing this page through the
Internet Configuration Wizard.
Authentication Settings require the Username and Password used for the authentication on the ISP server.
Dial Behavior radio buttons enables the following
selections:
• 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 always being online
in the network.
IP Address Assignment radio buttons are used to define
the IP address assignment for the PPP interface with the
following options:
• 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.
The Keep Connection alive checkbox enables keeping
the connection alive by sending control packets dedicated
for the link state verification.
