The ADVANCED PPP SET-UP MENU provides for more advanced PPP circuit parameter set-up. The parameters
configurable from this menu are used during LCP (Link Control Protocol) negotiations with a remote site PPP router. This
P1700 will request the configuration parameters defined here when initiating a PPP connection to a remote site PPP router.
When negotiating the LCP parameters for incoming PPP connections initiated by the remote site PPP router, this P1700 will
use these values as defaults but will accept a request for different values from the remote site PPP router.
If any of these LCP configuration parameters are required to be of a known value for a particular PPP connection, the
parameters should be set to the same values on the routers on each end of the PPP link.
1 - ACFC
The ACFC (Address/Control Field Compression) option determines if this P1700 will request Address and Control
Field Compression on the PPP link.
Default: [enabled]
2 - PFC
The PFC (Protocol Field Compression) option determines if this P1700 will request Protocol Field Compression on the
PPP link.
Default: [disabled]
3 - Echo Monitoring
The Echo Monitoring option determines if this P1700 will generate Echo-Request messages on the PPP link. Echo
monitoring is used to help debug a link and verify data transmission. A change to the Echo Monitoring state will take
effect the next time the link starts.
Default: [enabled]
