Viewing Wan Resources; Setting Global Wan Parameters - Nortel Enterprise Edge 2.0 Programming Manual

On dial-up WAN connections, Enterprise Edge supports the following data
compression protocol:
• Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC), RFC 2118

Viewing WAN Resources

Enterprise Edge lets you view available WAN resources.
To view available WAN resources:
1. From Unified Manager, under Resources, click WAN. The Resources section
displays the WAN interfaces (WAN1, WAN2) in a table format.

Setting global WAN parameters

If PPP is the link protocol for a WAN interface (WAN1 or WAN2), you can use an
authentication process to identify the user requesting a network connection. The
authentication process involves creating a list of user names and assigning
passwords using the PPP Password List. Enterprise Edge uses the information on
the list to verify and confirm the identity of the user. Only those users whose names
appear on the PPP Password List can access the network. The PPP Password List
configuration lets you add, modify or delete an item on the list.
To create a PPP Password List:
1. From the WAN Resources section, scroll down to the PPP Password List.
2. From the menu click Configuration and select Add PPP User&Password.
The PPP Password List dialog box appears.
3. In the P# box, type the number of the list item. For example, if you are adding
the first item on the list, the P# is P1.
Note: If you type an item number which already exists in the list, the
following message appears "You tried to add a row with existing key".
Assign a new number to the item to want to add to the list.
4. In the PPP User Name box, type the user name associated with the computer
you want Enterprise Edge to identify as a valid network user.
Note: You must overwrite the default user name User with the user name
you want to add to the list.
5. In the PPP Password box, type the password you want to assign to the user
defined in the PPP User Name box. The password can contain a combination
of lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers.
6. Click Save to save your settings.
