Settings Parameters
PPP Mode – Client. In most instances, the unit
should emulate a PPPoE client. If
you select Client mode, you do
not need to specify the Local IP,
Subnet Mask, or Remote IP set-
tings on the IP Init menu because
they will be provided by a PPPoE
server.
– Server. Select Server mode if the
unit must operate as a PPPoE
server. For example, if the unit is
positioned before a BBRAR
(Broadband Remote Access
Router), it must function as a
server. If you select Server
mode, you must specify the set-
tings (see step 6 on page 132).
User Name Enter a valid user name for the ISP
(Internet Service Provider).
Use Provider – Yes. Select Yes if the ISP
requires the provider’s domain
name be included with the User
Name (for example, joe-
smith@provider.net).
– No. Select No if the ISP does not
require the provider’s domain
name as part of the user name.
Provider Name If you selected Yes as the Use Pro-
vider setting, specify the provider
name. An at sign (@) and the pro-
vider name will automatically be
appended to the User Name that you
specified, and will be carried in the
packet.
