Transparently bridging the mobile broadband connection via PPPoE
If desired, you can have a client device connected to the Ethernet port initiate the mobile broadband connection using a PPPoE
session. This is particularly useful in situations where you wish to provide Wireless WAN data access to an existing router which you
want to have full public WAN IP access and have control over routing functionality.
To enable transparent bridging via PPPoE:
1.
Click the Networking menu item from the top menu bar.
2.
On the Data connection page, click the Transparent bridge (PPPoE) toggle key so that it is ON.
3.
In the APN name field, enter the APN that you wish to use for the mobile broadband connection.
4.
(Optional) In the Service name field, enter a name that allows you to easily identify the connection.
5.
Click the Save button to confirm the settings.
6.
Click the Status menu item from the top menu bar to see the transparent bridging status.
7.
Next you must configure your downstream device connected via Ethernet to the NTC-6200 Series router to initiate a
network connection through a PPPoE client. The username and password used by the downstream device for the PPPoE
session will be passed on and used by the NTC-6200 Series router as the packet data (PDP) context authentication
settings.
