3.3. One Page Quick Setup with PPPoE PPPoE IP Mode User Name: no default, maximum length 47 characters. Password: no default, maximum length 35 characters. Service Name (optional): no default, maximum length 47 characters. Close Connection when Idle Time Over (second): default , range 0 to 4294967295. -
Page 12: Change Password
If you want to keep the connection always on between LIF-200 and your ISP, then set the value of item „Close Connection When Idle Time Over‟ to 0, otherwise, when the on line idle time exceeds the setting value, the LIF-200 will terminate this PPPoE connection. -
Page 13: Lif-200 Advanced Configuration Setup
If your device is configured as passive (to accept commands from a remote, and data reception by the peer needs to be guaranteed) then you can set the LIF-200 as TCP Server. Be sure that the value „Listen Port Number‟ is set to the same value that your remote control application is using. - Page 14 Any Character Start Up means that the LIF-200 will attempt to establish a TCP connection as soon as it is powered up. Any Character means that the LIF-200 will attempt to establish a TCP connection as soon as it starts receiving data from serial port.
- Page 15 If your device is configured as passive (to accept commands from a remote and data reception by the peer needn‟t be guaranteed) then you can set the LIF-200 as UDP Server. Be sure the value „Listen Port Number‟ is set to the same value that your remote control application is using.
-
Page 16: Serial Type
If your device is configured as active (to report real-time status to a remote and data reception by the peer needn‟t be guaranteed) then you can set LIF-200 as UDP Client. Be sure the value „Remote Connection Port Number‟ is set to the same value that your remote control application is using and set the correct value of „Remote Host IP Address‟. - Page 17 , range 0 to 65535. Different devices have different capabilities for handling data received from a serial port. For this reason you can tune this setting to slow down the speed of LIF-200 to fit the speed of your device. LIF200 User Manual...

Page 18: Lif-200 Management Setup
Device Management IP Address: default 192.168.200.200 In case the LIF-200‟s IP address is forgotten, you can use this management IP to connect to LIF-200 in order to figure out what the current IP address is. If you set the LIF-200‟s IP Configuration as DHCP or PPPoE, which will assign dynamic IP address to LIF-200, you also can use this management IP address to find out what the current working IP address in Intranet is. - Page 19 MAC address to a registered one when users change their access equipment. (Detail sees Appendix D) Reset System to Factory Default: Click “Apply”, if you want to return all the LIF-200‟s current settings to its factory default. Note: do not restore the factory defaults unless it is absolutely necessary. Reboot System: Click “Apply”, if you want to clear a connection, reboot, and re-initialize the unit without affecting any of...
