MultiFRAD 3000-Series User Guide
Point to Point Setup
The Point to Point Setup dialog box controls the WAN port protocol, dial on demand, and remote port
setup. The WAN port protocol can be either Point to Point Protocol (PPP) or Serial Line Internet
Protocol (SLIP). PPP is the more robust of the two protocols in that it allows the end-points to
negotiate use of the link and protocol parameters in a standardized way and also allows for
standardized encapsulation of the packets. SLIP is an older protocol and requires manual
authentication using a script.
Note: At this time, the MultiFRAD does not support voice/fax operation in a Point-to-Point
configuration.
In order to display the PPP dialog box, the WAN Port Setup dialog box has to be configured for PPP/
SLIP.
PPP is the default protocol. If SLIP is being used, click the PPP Enable option to disable PPP. Click
the SLIP Enable option. Determine if the TCP header is going to be compressed using VJC
compression. If VJC compression is used, click the CSLIP (Van Jacobson Compression) option.
