SmartFlex
4.3.8 PPPoE Bridge Mode Configuration
If you mark the Enable PPPoE bridge mode check box, the router activates the PPPoE
bridge protocol. PPPoE (point-to-point over ethernet) is a network protocol for encapsulating
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. The bridge mode allows you to
create a PPPoE connection from a device behind the router. For example, a PC connected to
the ETH port of the router. You assign the IP address of the SIM card to the PC.
For Smar tFlex SR306 and SmartFlex SR307 routers: If you enable PPPoE bridge mode,
it is not possible to use SMS Configuration features – the router will not send SMS and
you can not control the router via SMS! Send SMS feature in Administartion section will
not work. Also in Mobile WAN Status there will be no signal strength data displayed. This
is caused by using the same channel for sending AT commands in the cellular module in
this version of the router. If the channel is occupied by AT commands for PPPoE bridge,
there is no place for SMS AT commands.
The changes in settings will apply after clic king the Apply button.
