POINT-TO-POINT PROTOCOL

Point-To-Point Protocol (PPP) is an alternate method that may be used to communicate with the F3400/F1000. PPP can only be used through a modem, over a phone line. The F3400/F1000 and the user’s computer must both be configured correctly in order for PPP to work.

7.1.Configuring the F3400/F1000

1Access the F3400/F1000's Web interface.

2Click the Configuration link. Enter the correct user name and password (if necessary).

3From the Configuration Menu, click on the System link.

4On the System Configuration page, click on the IP Configuration Menu link.

The IP Configuration page lists the IP addresses configured on the F3400/F1000. Both the

PPPServer and PPP Assignment fields need to be completed in order for PPP to work.

PPPServer: Assigns an IP address to the F3400/F1000 for PPP communications. Any IP address may be used, as long as it is not in the same subnet as the F3400/F1000's primary IP address. A good example of an IP address to use is: 192.168.1.2. Use this address to view the F3400/F1000 Web interface through a browser when communicating with the F3400/F1000 through PPP.

PPPAssignment: Tells the F3400/F1000 what IP address to assign to the PC the user dials in from. Again, any IP address may be used, as long as it is in the same subnet as the PPP Server IP address. A good example of an IP address to use is: 192.168.1.3
