General Tab Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

IPv4 Local IP	The IPV4 IP address of the IOLAN end of the PPP link. For routing to work,
Address	you must enter a local IP address. Choose an address that is part of the same
	network or subnetwork as the remote end; for example, if the remote end is
	address 192.101.34.146, your local IP address can be 192.101.34.145. Do not
	use the IOLAN’s (main) IP address in this field; if you do so, routing will not
	take place correctly.
IPv4 Remote IP	The IPV4 IP address of the remote end of the PPP link. Choose an address that
Address	is part of the same network or subnetwork as the IOLAN. If you set the PPP
	parameter IP Address Negotiation to On, the IOLAN will ignore the remote IP
	address value you enter here and will allow the remote end to specify its IP
	address. If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter
	Framed-Addressis set in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in
	the RADIUS file in preference to the value configured here. The exception to
	this rule is a Framed-Addressvalue in the RADIUS file of 255.255.255.254;
	this value allows the IOLAN to use the remote IP address value configured
	here.
IPv4 Subnet Mask	The network subnet mask. For example, 255.255.0.0. If your user is
	authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter Framed-Netmaskis set
	in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in
	preference to the value configured here.
Negotiate IP	Specifies whether or not IP address negotiation will take place. IP address
Address	negotiation is where the IOLAN allows the remote end to specify its IP
Automatically	address. When On, the IP address specified by the remote end will be used in
	preference to the Remote IP Address set for a Serial Port. When Off, the
	Remote IP Address set for the Serial Port will be used.
	Default: Disabled
Dynamic DNS	Launches the Dynamic DNS window when IP Address Negotiation is enabled,
Button	which can then update the DNS server with the IP address that is negotiated
	and accepted for the PPP session.
	See Dynamic DNS Field Descriptions on page 186 for more information.
