PPPOE
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) allows a point-to-point connection
while using Ethernet. Just like the dial up protocol on which it is based, PPPoE
can use traditional user name and password authentication to establish a direct
connection between two Ethernet devices on a network (e.g., your AirLink device
and your computer or router).
Application examples for PPPoE with your AirLink device:
• Backup connectivity solution for your network
• Individualized Internet connection on a LAN
• Password restricted Internet connection
Only one computer, router, or other network device at a time can connect to the
AirLink device using PPPoE. If you are using the AirLink device connected to a
router as a back up Internet connection for your network, you should configure the
router to use the PPPoE connection and not the individual computers.
Note: To configure a PPPoE connection on some operating systems, you need adminis-
trator privileges to the computer you are configuring or access granted by an administrator
on the network to add/remove devices to your computer.
DNS Proxy Determines how the connected hosts acquire their first DNS server. Options are:
• Enable (default) —All connected hosts (PPP, PPPoE, Wi-Fi, USBNET, and Ethernet)
acquire the AirLink device’s IP address as the first DNS server and use the AirLink
device as their DNS resolver.
• Disable—All connected hosts acquire the Mobile Network Operator-defined DNS
server as the first DNS server. The AirLink device is not used as the DNS resolver.
DNS Override Overrides the carrier DNS addresses with user configured ones. Some carriers ignore the
use of Alternate DNS servers and route all DNS requests to their own servers.
Options are: Disable (default) or Enable.
