5.2LCP PHASE

What happens

The Nokia A032 and the ISP agree to use PPP and negotiate the various options that might be available to improve efficiency. This phase of negotiation uses Link Configuration Protocol (LCP).

Possible problems and solutions

Looking in the PPP Log (see the printed Nokia A032 Wireless LAN Access Point User Guide or the A032_User_Guide.pdf file) you should see entries labeled ‘LCP’ and identified as configure request, configure reject and configure NAK.

These entries are normal and part of the bartering process. However, if the two sides are unable to agree one will eventually give up and drop the link.

•If you see a long sequence of LCP messages followed by a hang-up then there is probably a compatibility problem between the ISP and the Nokia A032. In this case you should contact Nokia technical support for advice.

•If the PPP Log contains configure requests but no replies, the ISP either doesn’t support PPP or needs some special procedure to turn on PPP. This will generally only be the case with older ISPs, although it may include some quite large services. In this case it may be necessary to use a script to log in and tell the ISP that you want to use PPP (see Setting a logon script of the printed Nokia A032 Wireless LAN Access Point User Guide or the A032_User_Guide.pdf file.

The LCP phase will complete when both sides have sent an LCP configure request to the other and received an LCP configure ACK in reply.
