Configure the AirLink Device to Support PPPoE

Note: You must disable the DHCP server for PPPoE to work.
To configure an AirLink device to support PPPoE:
1. In ACEmanager, go to LAN > Ethernet.
2. Under General, in the DHCP Server Mode field, select Disable.
Note: PPPoE authentication is optional. If you use PPPoE authentication, no other
tethered LAN connection will have network access, regardless of whether or not the
PPPoE host is connected. If you are using non-authenticated PPPoE, other tethered LAN
connections will have network access until a PPPoE host is connected.
3. If you want to use authenticated PPPoE:
a. Go to LAN > PPPoE, and in the Host Authentication Mode field, select
PAP and CHAP.
b. In the Host User ID, enter a user ID for the PPPoE connection.
c. In the Host Password field, enter a password for the PPPoE to
connection.
4. Click Apply.
5. Reboot the device.
Tip: If you leave Host User ID and Host Password blank, any computer or device can
connect to the AirLink device using PPPoE.
Note: ACEmanager shows the existing value for the PPPoE password as stars (****).
Optional: Configure the Device Name
1. In ACEmanager, go to Services > Dynamic DNS.
2. In the Service field, select IP Manager.
3. Under Dynamic IP, enter a name in the Device Name field, such as AirLink
device or the ESN. The name can be up to 20 characters long.
The name you choose for Device Name does not affect the connection, but
may need to be configured in PPPoE settings for the router, device, or com-
puter you connect to your AirLink device.
