The Internet Setup dialog box displays the phone number the ProxyServer is going to dial to reach
your ISP, the protocol the ISP supports, MultiLink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) option, and if you
would link the ProxyServer to dial the ISP’s phone number when you power on your unit.
The Dial Number field displays the phone number of the ISP you assigned during initial
configuration. If the WAN 2 port is not being used for Internet access, then the Dial Number field will
likely be blank. (This port could be used to dial out to any number, as necessary.)
ProxyServer supports Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) on its
WAN links. The majority of the time the ISP is going to support PPP. PPP supports two user
authentication protocols; Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP). When you established your Internet account your ISP should have
indicated which protocol it supports.
Your user name and password are displayed in the PPP group for any WAN port that is going to be
connected to the Internet. The user name and password were entered in the Default WAN Link(s)
setup dialog box during the initial configuration. If a WAN port is not used for Internet access, the
User Name and Password fields will be blank. You can change your User Name and Password in
these fields for the WAN port. Remember that if you change one of your user names or password
and you have the MLPPP option enabled, you must change your user name and password for the
other WAN port, too.
Clicking the Advanced tab brings up the parameters that affect both WAN links.
The Message Printing Control group is used to flag specific items for generating messages on
