PPP Configuration | Actiontec electronic MI424-WR instruction

Chapter 5 Using Network Connections

Network Select the type of connection being configured from the drop-down list (Broadband Connection, Network (Home/Office), or DMZ).

Connection Type Displays the type of connection. Since this is PPPoE connection, “PPPoE” is displayed.

MTU MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) specifies the largest packet size permitted for Internet transmission. “Automatic, sets the MTU at 1492. Other choices include “Automatic,” which sets the MTU according to the connection to the ISP, and “Manual,” which allows the MTU to be set manually.

Underlying Connection Specify the underlying connection above which the proto- col initiates from the drop-down list, which displays all possible underlying devices.

PPP Configuration

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is the most popular method for transporting packets between the user and the ISP.

Service Name Specify the networking peer’s service name, if provided by the ISP, in this text box.

On-Demand To use PPP on demand to initiate the point-to-point protocol session only when packets are actually sent over the Internet, click in this check box. This option should be active on a limited basis

Idle Time Before Hanging Up Enter the amount of idle time, in minutes, before the

PPPsession automatically ends .

Time Between Reconnect Attempts In this text box, specify the duration between

PPPreconnect attempts, as provided by the ISP.

PPP Authentication

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) currently supports four authentication pro- tocols: Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), and Microsoft CHAP versions 1 and 2. Select the authentication protocols the Router may use when negotiating with a PPTP server in this section. Select all the protocols if no information is available about the server’s authentication methods. Note that encryption is performed only if Microsoft CHAP, Microsoft CHAP version 2, or both are selected.

MWarning: The PPP Authentication settings should not be changed unless instructed to do so by Verizon.
