Product FAQ
Will the P-2024 work with my Internet connection?
The P-2024 is designed to work with cable and ADSL modems. The P-2024 comes with an Ethernet port to
connect to your computer so the P-2024 is placed between your computer and your modem. The P-2024 also
supports PPPoE Internet connection type.
What do I need to use the P-2024?
Ethernet ports for LAN and WAN connection. You should connect the computer to the LAN port and the
external modem to the WAN port. If the ISP uses PPPoE or Roadrunner Authentication, you need the user
account to enter in the P-2024.
What is PPPoE?
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is an IETF draft standard specifying how a computer interacts
with a broadband modem (such as xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to access the high-speed data networks via a PPP
dialer (such as Microsoft＇s Dial-Up Networking). PPPoE supports a broad range of applications and services
including authentication, accounting, secure access and configuration management. Some ISPs still provides
PPPoE connection type today. Before configuring PPPoE in the P-2024, make sure your ISP supports PPPoE.
Does the P-2024 support PPPoE?
Yes. The P-2024 has already supported PPPoE since ZyNOS 2.50.
How do I know I am using PPPoE?
PPPoE requires a user account to log into the service provider's server. If you need to configure a user name and
password on your computer to connect to the ISP, you are probably using PPPoE. If you connect to the Internet
when you turn on your computer, you probably are not using PPPoE. You can also check with your ISP or the
information sheet given by the ISP. Choose PPPoE as the encapsulation type in the P-2024 if the ISP uses
PPPoE.
