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. 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/PPTP 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.
The PPTP Server text fields are only enabled when Quadro is running with the PPTP interface and require the IP address of the PPTP server.
The Encryption drop down list is only enabled when Quadro is running with the PPTP interface and it is used to select the encryption for the traffic
over the PPTP interface.
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.
