3-4CHAPTER 3: REMOTE SITE MANAGEMENT

Configuring Network Service Information (PPP / RFC 1483 / RFC 1490)

A Network Service defines the data encapsulation and protocol characteristics for the connection between two packet switching devices.

The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports PPP, RFC 1483 and RFC 1490 Network Services. The OfficeConnect Remote 840 and the remote site must both use the same Network Service in order for a connection to be established.

For PPP, the authentication name and password must be provided to allow the connection to be established. The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports both PAP and CHAP authentication.

The Network Service parameters can be configured on the Remote Sites General screen.
