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
uses 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.
Tip: You may need to use Private Mode to configure the IP address of your AirLink device
to be available on a LAN.
Note: To configure a PPPoE connection on Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, or NT, you will
need administrator privileges to the computer you are configuring or access granted by an
administrator on the network to add/remove devices to your computer.
