PPP session
3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
During the opening of a PPP session, IP addresses are negotiated
between the two peers for the PPP connection. The Local IP' and
'Remote IP' fields influence this negotiation.
Typically at the client side, the 'Local IP' and 'Remote IP' boxes are
left empty. This forces the client to ask the remote server for
addresses.
In case you want to set up the AST710 as PPP server, suitable
values for your network configuration must be supplied:
Setting a local IP address
"
Forces the remote PPP client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as the AST710 PPP session IP address.
Setting a remote IP address
"
Forces the remote client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as its PPP session IP address.
The 'Mode' field allows you to configure how a PPP session is
opened.
Three options are available:
Dial in
"
The PPP session is opened manually by clicking
to the PPP connection in the 'Dial in' page.
Always on
"
After the AST710 is powered and finished its Power On Self
Test (POST) successfully, the AST710 automatically tries to
open a PPP session for the PPP connection.
Dial on demand
"
The PPP session is opened automatically for a limited period
of time. The opening of the session is triggered by the arrival
of packets at the AST710 Ethernet port, to be sent over the
PPP connection.
Note: By default one PPP connection is configured as 'Dial in' (i.e. PPP1),
another as 'Always on' (i.e. PPP2).
