Ppp Configuration - Digi LTS 32 User Manual

PPP configuration

PPP (Point-to-point Protocol) provides TCP/IP communication over a modem connected to a serial
port on your ConnectPort LTS server. PPP allows you to connect a device to a network using a
telephone line and that device has access to the resources of the network as if it were directly
connected to the network.
Basic PPP settings
Under Basic PPP settings, users can set the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) options to enable or
disable the dynamic IP address pool. The dynamic IP address pool is a set of reserved IP addresses
unique to the network that are assigned to the incoming connections. Users set the first IP address to
use and the number of sequential addresses (plus one) to be reserved for assignment
Incoming PPP Connection
Incoming PPP connections are connections where users dial-in to the ConnectPort LTS product.
Users will typically connect using a modem and dial the phone number of the modem connected to
the serial port. Examples of incoming PPP connections are allowing users with a modem to access
the network that the ConnectPort LTS product uses or to create a network bridge by connecting two
separate networks together using modems.
