Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no
configuration of the modem at the customer site.
PPPoE uses industry-standard, low-cost Ethernet NICs to connect your PCs to the broadband modem. In
addition, PPPoE allows multiple PCs to share a single broadband connection, making it the best solution for
small offices and homes that have more than one PC needing high-speed network access. For the service
provider, one of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access multiple network services, a
function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new
IP services.
If you choose PPPoE in Menu 4, you will see the next screen. For extra information on PPPoE, please see
the appendix.
