Nailed-Up Connection
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic demand. The
Prestige does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is disabled.
The second is that the Prestige will try to bring up the connection at power-on and whenever the connection
is down. A nailed-up connection can be very expensive for obvious reasons.
Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-
rate service or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.
5.1.3 PPPoE Encapsulation
The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC
2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable,
wireless, etc.) connection.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access
control systems (e.g., Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login and authentication method that the
existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or
procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a function
known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP
services for specific users.
