Point-to-Point Setup
The PPP Port 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). Of these two protocols, PPP is the more robust as it allows the end-points to negotiate the 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 which requires manual authentication using a script.
PPPis the default protocol. If SLIP is being used, click the PPP Enable option to disable PPP, then 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.
The Point-to-Point Advanced tab contains options which control echo request, message printing, and termination and configuration requests.
