PPP configuration

Configuring Point‐to‐Point (PPP)

To configure how the PPP protocol is used on your router:

1.From Cellular, select PPP Configuration.

2.To use PPP, check Enabled. When enabled, your device functions as a router. If PPP is enabled, you cannot access the integrated cellular radio.

3.To access the cellular radio integrated with your router, disable PPP. When PPP is disabled, you can directly access the cellular modem by using telnet port 5000.

4.To enable the dial‐on‐demand feature, check Dial‐on‐Demand. To configure the settings that re‐ establish the connection when Dial‐on‐Demand is enabled, see Configuring wakeup‐on‐call.

If disabled, the router always stays connected unless the Idle Time Out expires.

5.To allow the use of two antennas to increase receive signal quality, check Diversity.

Note: Not all models support diversity. If you enable diversity, you must connect a second cellular antenna to the AUX port on the device. If you do not add the second antenna, and diversity is enabled, the device's performance can degrade.

6.In the Idle Time Out field, type the amount of idle time that passes before the router times out. The default is 180 seconds. If the time expires, the PPP connection to the Internet is disconnected. Any IP packets from the LAN side or IP traffic from the wireless side reset the timer and prevent disconnecting.

7.In the Connect Timeout field, type the number of seconds to wait for a connection while in receive mode before timing out.
