Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration and Management

The WAN Port Statistics dialog box pertains to the traffic on the MultiFRAD’s composite link (WAN) port. The Statistics that fall into “Others” category relate to the physical layer between the MultiFRAD and the link device, i.e. the CSU/DSU. These statistics can be helpful in troubleshooting suspected problems at the physical layer, i.e., the WAN port itself, the link device (CSU/DSU), and any associated cabling.

PPP Statistics

The PPP Statistics dialog box provides statistical information related to Point-to-Pint Protocol (PPP). For example, this dialog box displays the current protocol and compression methods enabled.

The statistics in this dialog box will only apply when you are accessing your network remotely with a

PPPclient. The Network Control Protocol (NCP) is the means by which PPP clients negotiate the network-layer protocols. IP and IPX network-layer protocols are supported on the MultiFRAD.

The Link Control Protocol (LCP) is the means by which PPP clients negotiate and configure the data link for a given PPP connection.
