3.3.1 Overview

PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site through common customer premises equipment, which is the telephone company's term for a modem and similar devices. PPPoE can be used to have an office or building-full of users share ADSL, cable modem, or wireless connection to the Internet. Usually, it is used in broadband Internet access such as ADSL.

To make the LS100 work in PPPoE mode, users should have a PPPoE account and the equipments for PPPoE access such as an ADSL modem. Since the LS100 provides the PPPoE protocol, it can access the remote host on the Internet over ADSL connection. It is required to set up the user name and password of the PPPoE account.

If the IP mode is set to PPPoE, The LS100 negotiates the PPPoE connection with PPPoE server whenever it boots up. During the negotiation, it receives the information required for Internet connection such as IP address, gateway, subnet mask and DNS servers. If the connection is established, the LS100 tries to maintain the connection as long as possible. If the disconnection is detected, the LS100 will attempt to make a new PPPoE connection by requesting the new connection.
